Strangebedfellows; so to speak!

"Once upon a time a man whose ax was missing suspected his neighbor's son. The boy walked like a thief, looked like a thief, and spoke like a thief. But the man found his ax while digging in the valley, and the next time he saw his neighbor's son, the boy walked, looked and spoke like any other child." ~ Lao-tzu, philosopher (6th century BCE)

This week Barney Frank (D) came out on the same side of the FBI investigation fracas at the Capitol of Representative William Jefferson of Louisiana as Bill Frist (R). Strange bedfellows, indeed!!!! These two guys could not be any more different than Mickey Mouse and Bart Simpson. But in this respect, they are correct. NO MAN, especially a member of Congress is above the law.

The reason Speaker Hasert was so opposed to the investigation was revealed over the weekend, when ABC news revealed that the speaker, himself might be under the microscope. He was laying ground work to try to keep the "fibbies" out of his offices in the near future, he doesn't give a tinkers about a democrat from Louisiana.

This is not about the buddy system. This is about survival. Planning for the future. He just looks stupid, he did not convince the right that he was the correct guy for the job because he was big fat and stupid, like Mike Moore, its because he's crafty. He is thinking about the indictment of Tom Delay, Bob Ney, "Scooter" Libby, "Duke" Cunningham, possibly Karl Rove, maybe Richard Cheney et al. So can you blame him if he starts early covering his bases?
