You must watch this videoclip of Sen. Durbin on the U.S. Senate floor.  I’m dumbfounded.

Oh, and just by the way, not a big deal, but ANOTHER high official, this time the deputy chief of staff of the investigative unit in charge of the Abramhoff investigation, resigned in disgrace because he came under investigation for his ties to Kevin Ring, a lobbyist and legislative aide connected to, wait for it … the Abramhoff bribery scandal.  Not only are they corrupt, but they have no shame. The resignation was actually effective April 6, but wasn’t announced until Friday.  Now what has happened since April 6?  What was going on at that time?  My, could it have been the F’ING AL “FREDO” GONZALES HEARINGS????!!!!!?????

As in my last post, everytime I think I have outrage fatigue, something else happens to get my bowels in an uproar and it’s happening all over the board.  In the science agencies, in foreign policy, in the administration of justice, it comes in twos and threes a day.  Hell, I’m still boiling mad about the Katrina debacle and that’s just almost old news except that it turns out this past week that millions of dollars of foreign donated medical assistance spoiled in the heat and moisture of New Orleans because relief agencies just let it sit on the docks and then wanted to hide and cover up their ineptness.  All this comes to light because it seems that the U.S. is leaving all those donated millions from concerned citizens of the world on the table.  See, we haven’t bothered to go pick up the checks.  And, of course, it dries up as American prestige heads toward absolute zero.

Sometimes the tree of Liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants.  Jefferson, a revolutionary, knew of which he spoke.
