Scandal Time

According to Jill, "Democrats have scandals about sex; Republicans have scandals about money." I love it when stereotypes are fulfilled.

I'm finding the whole thing most amusing, even as my mutual funds and stocks go further down and down. At least Clinton's peccadillos only stained the oval office, hurting himself and his family; Bush and his friends have stained the market, causing pain and suffering to millions. Yet Bush, in his attempt to answer reporters about the issue, tries to claim that these things "aren't black and white." This is the same man who thinks "you're either for us or against us" and goes around blithely labeling entire nations "evil."

Any one who knows me knows about my affinity for comics. Sometimes, comics really help to get to the basics behind the issue. So, here's a special link to Tom the Dancing Bug, who gets at the heart of the scandal. (Thanks, Cory!)
