Having your cake
smearing it all over the window to help cloud it, giving out pieces to passersby, and wolfing it down yourself. Quite a feat.
Robert got it exactly right. Wipe some of the cake off the window, maybe you'll see more clearly.
On Jefferson, yup you're right, there was no need to not mention it.
On Republicans in general, they merely noted Cunningham and Abramoff, there wasn't even an attempt to say that it pales in comparison.
Would you have us believe that accepting boxing tickets is somehow right up there with Cunningham's/Wilkes levels of bribery and favours?
