Not for your ears

A few stories that Washington would prefer you to not see or hear. The first is about doubly convicted Republican Representative Ney. The story came out late on Friday afternoon meaning that Washington does not want you to pay attention. So folks don't read this article just pass on by, come on nothing to see here, just pass on by.

Ney will resign after trying to keep his Congressional seat.

With an upcoming election next week and with it the battle for which party will control Congress, this story is another in a long series of disasters for the Republicans.

What do you do when someone in your administration is pointing out that money is not being spent properly, and then shows you the clear evidence that this is true? The correct answer is fire them. Yes the Republican Congress will fire the person that brought to light some of the money scandals from Iraq and the office of accountability in Iraq that he worked in will also be closed. After all this is not politically expedient now is it. Better to have no accountability at all.

Iraq Accountability Office to be closed.

Earlier on Friday this article appeared:

GOP calls on Rumsfeld to resign.

How do you like that? There is pronounced conflict within the Republican Party. The day after Bush fully endorses the "misunderestimated" Secretary of Defense, Republicans creep out of nowhere and, BAM, hijack his agenda.
