It is rumored that John Ramsey and Beth Holloway Twitty are dating. Ramsey, long time considered involved with the murder of his daughter JonBenet, has denied any relationship with the missing Alabama teenager's mother. But the couple has been seen holding hands and kissing in public. Now, for many this may seem strange that the parents of two murder victims would get together like this but you must look to the positives. Without the high cost of college tuition, they can afford to go anywhere they want on their honeymoon.
This week brought about the conviction of Scooter Libby on perjury and obstruction of justice charges related to the outing of CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson. The sentence of thirty months has the bulls on cell block D chanting, "We'll have Libby Libby Libby in our stable stable stable, we will fuck'im fuck'im fuck'im and wipe it on his navel navel navel."
It was another episode of "Penises on Parade" at the Republican presidential debate last Tuesday night and surprisingly, there was more Bush bashing than a John Holmes porn flick. The candidates often resorted to using harsh language in separating themselves from the administration on issues like Iraq, fiscal policy and immigration. However, the candidates softened their rhetoric when it came to the PresiDunce's policies of fighting the War on Terror and Iran, which both poll well with the conservative base. Despite their quandary over Bush, the candidates each tried to position themselves as being the strongest on national security and there was no better example than when the question of the use of nuclear weapons was brought up. The candidates strutted around the stage trying to be macho and there could not have been more phalluses fondled if it were a Michael Jackson slumber party.
Former Tennessee senator Fred Thompson has announced his plans for a possible run for the presidency. Widely considered as the candidate with the best chances at getting the nomination, Thompson does pose a serious campaign problem for the Republican Party. As a former trial lawyer and Hollywood actor, Thompson's candidacy will force the Republicans to forgo two of the biggest weapons in their arsenal to use against the Democrats over the past six election cycles. There is only the hope that they can morph Thompson into the Ronald Reagan incarnate. But at this time, there is only speculation on Thompson's wife Jeri's oral abilities as compared to Nancy's.
Why is Louisiana Representative William Jefferson still in congress? Many people are asking that question after Jefferson was indicted on bribery and perjury charges earlier this week. After twelve years of corruption at the hands of the Republicans, the Democrats need to hold themselves to a higher standard and kick this bum out onto the street. When it comes to the people's House, the Democrats cannot allow themselves to be viewed as soft on corruption. It does not matter that Jefferson has not been convicted, there was enough evidence to get indictments and that should be enough. Screw the investigation, call the vote and send him packing!
