Lots of fun stuff this week!
David Kahane at National Review Online gives us an update on Dickens, in “A Chicago Carol“:
RYAN: I am the Ghost of Felons Past —
BARRY II: What’s the charge?
RYAN: Corruption, bribery, fraud, the usual occupational hazards.
Barry shoots an angry look at Big Dave:
BARRY II: Since when are those crimes in Illinois, even for Republicans? What the hell has this country come to under Bush? Luckily, I am the change we have been waiting for.
It’s a hoot! Read the whole thing.
From the Department of Embarrassment: GOP congresswoman hangs up on Obama — twice.
“A Florida congresswoman – convinced she was being prank-called by a Barack Obama sound-alike – hung up on the actual president-elect Wednesday.
Florida Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen was told by an aide that Obama wanted to speak with her. According to a statement released by her office, the Republican congresswoman cut off the caller, telling him she thought “this is a joke from one of the South Florida radio stations known for these pranks.” She then hung up.
Obama’s future White House chief of staff, Rahm Emmanuel – a fellow congressman – then called her to let her know she’d actually been speaking with the future commander-in-chief. Ros-Lehtinen, convinced the call was another hoax, hung up on him, too.” (source)
Recall the excoriation Gov. Palin endured when she actually took a prank call from someone posing as French President Nicholas Sarkozy? Looks like you’re damned if you do, and damned if you don’t — if you’re a conservative, that is.
From the Department of Even More Embarrassment: Harry Reid complains about smelly tourists!
“My staff tells me not to say this, but I’m going to say it anyway,” said Reid in his remarks. “In the summer because of the heat and high humidity, you could literally smell the tourists coming into the Capitol. It may be descriptive but it’s true.”
Those tourists must really be stinky, because it’s not the first time he’s complained about ‘em.
Via Copious Dissent, Fred Thompson gives us his hilarious take on how to make it through these economic dark days. Fred comes through as usual.
Have a great weekend!

I think Fred Thompson and Sarah Palin should have a child together. It would either be ugly and stupid, or cute but a bad actor.

My, but the people from Las Vegas must be so proud to have Harry “Surrender Now!” Reid representing them in Congress.
Note to Harry Reid: That smell you mention is not the tourists coming. It’s your record in the Senate and your defeatist mentality towards our military.
Remember the good old days when Traitors and Spys used to make an effort to go undetected?
