Breaking: Shots fired on the Hill...

Just in time? Hayden's in.

Best Ken Lay post today:

Ken Lay and Jeffrey Skilling are trading pinstripe suits for suits of a different stripes. Enron's top two dogs were found guilty yesterday of fraud, conspiracy, insider trading, perjury, and a host of other charges, Prosecutors hope this is the last in a long string of corporate scandals. God, when you thrown in Adelphia, Worldcom, and Tyco, I haven't seen this many white men in court since the jury box in To Kill a Mockingbird..."

Both Lay and Skilling could spend the rest of their lives in jail, with maximum sentences approaching a combined 305 years. Finally! Two people Bush can pardon that don't work for him... Actually, I don't think George w. will pardon his former friends when he leaves office in 2009. He'll turn on them faster than Rumsfeld on the Pentagon press... There's more distance between Bush and Kenny Boy than Bonds and Balco... There's a better chance Lou Dobbs will IM Vicente Fox than those two will ever talk again... -- Left Wing Laughs

Could Bob Novak be even more of a weasel than he appears? Signs point to yes...

More on Dubya's pull-back on FBI raids. Meanwhile, there's new intrigue afoot on the Hill, as the G-men want to query members of Congress about ... what else ... leaks.

Gorgeous George makes it too easy for the righties...

Just in time for the weekend.
