Bad Year for Republicans

Like most free-thinking people in the world, I am hoping that Obama wins in November. I am not overly optimistic, though--I have seen the Republicans commit too many dirty tricks in the past.

Still, largely as a result of that idiot Bush, the Republicans are having a bad year. Take the Staten Island congressional district, the only Republican district in NYC, which they have held for 40 years. Their representative there is Vito Fossella, about as sleazy as Republicans can get.

He has a gay sister, and he refuses to attend family events if she is there. Of course this is morally correct because he is a devout Catholic. Recently, he was busted for driving drunk in the DC area. He drunkenly told the police he was going to pick up his sick daughter. The next day he told the press he was going to pick up a "sick friend." It turns out that he has been keeping a second family, a daughter and a mistress who is a spook, in DC, unbeknown to his family in New York.

What a Catholic!

So, he is disgraced. And, the Republicans are too poor to finance somebody to run in his place. Imagine that--poor Republicans! So they convince a retired Wall Street tycoon, Frank Powers, to run on the Republican ticket and finance his own campaign. Of course, it is a Republican family, so Frank Powers has a son who refuses to support him. In fact, he is running against him--as a Libertarian.

Today, Frank Powers died. Rest in Peace. I hope your son doesn't win.
