#1 Peter DeFazio, that's our guy in Washington! We've been sending this idiot to Congress for many years, now. He just doesn't get any better with years of practice. What can I say? Progressive Oregonians are Seattle and SF wannabe's, and they control most of our politics.

#2 Comprehensive Energy Plan? Not on your life you miserable squid pizzles! You get Halting Airplane Noise to Give Us Peace (Hang Up) Act, which forbids "voice communications using communications devices on scheduled flights."

And you'll be happy with it!!!!

#3 Lets see, oil crisis, inflatiohn, rising unemployement.

And we get this. And a 5 week vacation.

Yay Democrats.

If the GOP had its stuff together (lower taxes, lower govt spending, drill here and now, and self sufficiency, NO EARMARKS) they could make huge gains.

Trouble is, with a few notable exceptions, they are just as corrupt and dishonest and elitist and pork-filled, earmarking, big-government types as the Dems are, anymore.

#4 Not anymore, OldSpook. Ever. There never was a time when politics was a pristine exercise by disinterested statesmen, excepting perhaps a few of the Founding Fathers.

#5 Agree totally with #4. The best response to this feeble attempt at self-seeking publicity by an incumbent is hoots of derision from media editors all over the country. Next best response would be turning this incumbent scum out of office, I can dream, can't I?
