Once Again, the Fallout
1) This is the week that Scotty the Lying Bushtool will announce his "retirement." Nope. 0 points.
2) Bad Witch of the Midwest Jean Schmidt will issue an apology to John Murtha. While it did not sound like it (more like: "I'm sorry I got caught" rather than "I'm sorry"), it was widely reported that Mean Jean did apologize. 1 point.
3) At least two senators will join Biden's call for an Alito filibuster based on his race rulings; there will be no mention of an abortion filibuster, however. 1 point - looks like Reid and Kennedy have done this.
The math: batting average this week: .666 (batting average of the beast); overall: .470.

If I was Scotty, I would resign and take myself to the top of a mountain someplace, and away from all the madness. Sadly, he probably will not do so. He will continue to shill for W.
Mean Jean is from Ohio just south of where I live. I hope that she is out of office very quickly. She is not just mean, but also embarrassing.

If I were Scotty I would have fallen on my own sword along time ago. I feel sorry for his mother. Speaking of which, where'd torm go...

I must give myself half a point for my "pop culture obscures the war" predictions. I heard far more about the Nick and Jessica breakup than about the violence in Iraq.
Damn that softwood lumber!
