A Real Toe Tapper

I have been following the story of Republican Senator Larry Craig with a degree of incredulity.

You can't beat politicians for hanging on to the cover story just long enough to make themselves seem like tortured self-loathing psychiatric cases, can you?

I recommend that each Republican Senator and Congressman henceforth be issued a very cold spoon, like the woman who checks your knackers for deformity at school.

One swift rap on the Cardinal's Hat, and that will be an end to that.
