I've had the idea of putting together the 52 most head-shaking moments in the Republican rule of 1994-2006, each with a photo. These could be used for a deck of playing cards, or printed on stickers to place all over as a reminder of what dumb-f%^&s the Rethugs have been. Thanks to the good people of DU, we're already way past 52!

In no particular order:

Mission Accomplished!

Betting on Abramoff

Some time back, irritated by attempts to paint the Abramoff shenanigans as a bipartisan scandal, I offered a small sum ($10) on the Far-Right newsbusters.org site to anyone who could find that Jack Abramoff gave money to any Democrat or any Democratic cause. I've received some flack from some of the NewsBusters netizens, who claim that I've lost the bet. I think I won. Welcher or winner? Here's the facts, you be the judge:

First the the facts on the Abramoff case with regard to Democrats and cash:

Karl's DeLay Is A Good Thing

According to yesterday's column by Robert Novak, polling indicates that both Karl Rove and Robert Novak are in deep voodoo:

"Interviews of 1,003 voters last Nov. 5-16, conducted for the Democratic Leadership Council, showed 59 percent felt Rove should quit while 25 percent said he should not. Comparable figures for DeLay were 63 percent and 24 percent. While DeLay faces trial in Texas after being indicted in a campaign finance controversy, Rove has been investigated but not indicted in the CIA leak case.
