I would rather be ranked as the 2nd worst Congressman by Rolling Stone than be ranked as the 2nd best Congressman by Rolling Stone. Rolling Stone used to be good on politics but Jann Wenner has put his nose so far up the Democratic Party's ass he can tell who Barney Frank had for lunch. Show me one article on any Republican politician in RS since 1992 that has had any similance to being balanced and I will thread my dick through a self threading movie projector.

Fox News is on. Go watch it.

For everyone else, RS has a sobering article that you should print out and read later:

"According to the most reliable ­estimates, we have doled out more than $500 billion for the war, as well as $44 billion for the Iraqi reconstruction effort. And what did America's contractors give us for that money? They built big steaming shit piles, set brand-new trucks on fire, drove back and forth across the desert for no reason at all and dumped bags of nails in ditches. For the most part, nobody at home cared, because war on some level is always a waste. But what happened in Iraq went beyond inefficiency, beyond fraud even. This was about the business of government being corrupted by the profit motive to such an extraordinary degree that now we all have to wonder how we will ever be able to depend on the state to do its job in the future. If catastrophic failure is worth billions, where's the incentive to deliver success? There's no profit in patriotism, no cost-plus angle on common decency. Sixty years after America liberated Europe, those are just words, and words don't pay the bills."
