My dear American friends are having soooo much trouble with their
elected officials. Here, in Canuckistan, our politicians are upright,
solid citizens who only have our interests in mind and they'd never
tell a lie to get elected. Once elected, they never break promises
either. There are no corporate kick-backs from defence contractors, no
price gouging by oil companies, no racial strife, we all love another.

Did you express similar outrage when Mark Foley was diddling with
little boy pages? I don't see the need for outrage. The system seems
to be working. Jefferson will be afforded due process and face his
accusers in a court of law. Although there are probably legitimate
reasons for a freezer full of cash, my gut tells me he'll enjoy
Federal accommodations along side Randy 'Duke' Cunningham.

It's okay. He was actually a drunk and not a perv. He went to rehab -
the Kennedy kind, not the Focus On the Family cure-me-of-the-gay kind.
Jefferson should be checking in any day now. Because no matter what
you do in contemporary America, all is better if you spend a couple
weeks pretending to go through the steps. By the time you emerge from
the Betty Ford Clinic, the next news cycle is well under way....

Certainly true. The first 12-step program I believe that "news reporters" go to
is one that cures them of their natural addictions to facts and logic ...

And that's a problem exactly how? Less than four days to achieve a substantial
improvement sounds more like an opportunity.

How you can say that with a straight face is beyond me.

Speaking as one who was born and raised in Louisiana, that's nothing
to get overly concerned about - just business as usual in La.
politics. The bribery, that is, although the shootin' ain't unheard
of.

As I recall, the "little boy pages" were, in fact, of legal age of
consent. This makes his behavior vile, distasteful, foul, and morally
outrageous, but not illegal.
