Tuesday Stuff

God, you mean all Ensign did was cheat with a woman whom he later fired (here)? He didn't journey into a public restroom in the Minneapolis airport to troll for sex or wear a diaper when consorting with a prostitute? Hey, he's got a "high bar" to meet from his party when it comes to this stuff -- BOOOR-IIING!!...



Update 6/17/09: Or, as Ensign put it, “I believe that marriage should be defined as that between one man and one woman, as well as the campaign staffer married to an employee in my Senate office” (more or less – from here).

Update 6/19/09: Better and better...

...Rachel Maddow interviewed Trita Parsi tonight on the Iran election and the aftermath, by the way - interesting stuff. When the video becomes available, I'll put it up here, but for now...



...and if you're talking about a delicate international crisis requiring tact, intelligence and discretion - well, you can always count on the Repugs to Bring On Teh Stupid instead (and Pence wins a free jar of jellybeans for invoking The Sainted Ronnie R - at least he didn't say that Tehran was "like a normal Indiana outdoor market in the summer time" as he did about Baghdad here)...



...and as a tribute to Barry Beckett, he of the Muscle Shoals sound, here's the '70s hit "Kodachrome" by Paul Simon (that's Beckett on the piano).



Update 6/22/09: The "wheel of karma" strikes again.
