Ricin? Yeah right. They needed cover to get rid of GOP spy ring evidence.

(what follows is satire)

As congressional leaders called on Preznit Dubya to halt his sham of an inquiry and support the formation of a truly independent review of intelligence gathering operations, we here at the Daily Dirt can't shake this nagging question: Which intelligence gathering operations are they talking about? American intelligence gathering operations on Iraq? Or Republican intelligence gathering operations on Democrats? "Inquiry"-ing minds want to know.

And speaking of the ongoing Senate investigation into the Republican hacking of key Democratic Party servers, yer old pal Jerky decided to pay a visit to Senate Majority leader Bill Frist's office last week, to ask him a few questions. After cornering him in a third-floor bathroom, the following exchange took place:

"Senator Frist! Jerky LeBoeuf from the Daily Dirt with some questions I'd like to ask you. First, what's the deal with you and Orrin Hatch getting your staffers to spy on your Democratic colleagues' computers? Aren't you and him supposed to be, like, super-ethical mega-Christians or something? And doesn't Jesus hate cheaters? My second question is a two-parter: Have you ever been to jail before? If not, are you looking forward to it?"

His response was as follows:

"I... Um... UH-OH! Is that? Yes, I think it is! I smell RICIN!!! There's Ricin in the mailroom, people!!! It's a TERRORIST ATTACK!!! Evacuate the building in which my evidence-filled office is located IMMEDIATELY, and for God's sake, SOMEBODY WAKE THE PREZNIT!!!"

Nice one, Bill. But we're on to you fuckers.

1. satire or not, I think you nailed it.

Frist: "gosh, we're gonna have to get rid of all the office equipment and have it quarantined and scanned with heavy magnetic fields (yeah, I know that'll probably erase my hard drive, but so be it). "

These guys, I agree, are obvious. They think we're all fools, and we largely are.

3. So what do we do?!

How can we get somebody - anybody - in the national media to point out this glaringly obviousl fact? Letterman, Jon Stewart, frickin' Matt frickin' Lauer even!

2. just reminiscing but

isn't hacking the Dems the modern day equivalent to the Watergate break-in?

5. Has no one noticed that the Senate Building has been shut down

by terrorists! Home grown terrorists, the worst kind.
While the * is strutting his accomplishments in the "war against terrorism" our elected representatives can not enter their offices.
No one arrested in the "anthrax attack".
Very little disclosure regarding the group arrested in Texas with WMD.
No acknowledgment of the internal threat posed by the Tim Mcveis amoung us.
Does anyone suspect that the far right have these goof balls on a long leash?

7. The shutdown of Senate

offices has also put a crimp in the Budget Hearings. I have heard several Senators say they couldn't get into their offices and get their documents. So they have to insert them into the record later, where no one will see them. I didn't hear any Repuke Senators saying that.
