Question -- do these scandals happen more to Republicans?

Or to Democrats?

Take a moment to think about it. "Scroll down for answer."

Okay, it's the elephants, right?

I'm reading the CNN article on Fitzgerald, and I guess he has to balance his time chasing Rove and all them against chasing a former Republican Governor accused of taking money.

It happens the other way. Cruz Bustamante, to pick a name, looked to me like someone whose ass pocket could use lining.

But let's be real about it.

Cheney's friends are ENRON... Rove looks like Agnew... DeLay is not only a crook, but rumored to be half orc; I suspect he's really Bill Romanowski's father.

I don't know. These guys are just more ruthless. That's why the Democrats are going to win the next Presidential election -- if not the midterms -- because they may be a bunch of sops, but they do believe in their mission, and only now are beginning to understand what's at stake.

You've heard my theories before. (If you haven't, do your duty and check out the archives. What are you, at work? You've got fuck-all else to do.) The politics of the Republican party make it natural that they counter the masses' best interest. This makes for a hateful bunch.

As the Niner game begins, a few thoughts:

*Bruce Thornton is going to shut down Santana Moss and, say, go to the Pro Bowl.

*This is NO WAY to play football. Niners set a record for fewest first downs in a season.

*Brandon Lloyd will be around for a long, long time -- and retire with an unbelievable highlight reel.

*That Gatorade ad they just showed -- 'What if great moments had changed by an inch,' with Jordan's shot missing, Jeremy Giambi safe, and so on -- really cool. The editing is great -- Dwight Clark clutches his head; Jordan stomps moodily to a halt.

*If you can help it, or are on medication or feeling at all unwell:

...try not to watch this team.
