If Elliot Spitzer has to resign because he boinked a prostitute,
then every Republican in Washington needs to resign.


Who are the bad guys?


Is It NBA Or NFL?





36
have been accused of spousal abuse






7
have been arrested for fraud







19
have been accused of writing bad checks







117
have directly or indirectly

bankrupted at least 2 businesses





3
have done time for assault




71,
repeat
71 cannot
get a credit card due to bad credit





14
have been arrested on drug-related charges




8
have been arrested for shoplifting






21
currently
< SPAN s tyle="F: Arial">are defendants in lawsuits, and






84
have been arrested for drunk driving
in
the last year



Can
you guess which organization this is?


Give

Neither,
it's the 435members of the

United StatesCongress





The
same group of Idiots that crank out

hundreds of new laws each year
designed to keep the rest of us in line.

2. Sorry, but I gotta play the mom
I DON"T CARE WHAT THE OTHER KIDS DO!! IT ONLY MATTERS WHAT YOU DO!!

Heard that?

It's a little lesson called integrity. And no Dem is immune.

4. you might have checked snopes before you posted this silly nonsense
If you were trying to make a case in defense of Spitzer, citing a silly report from 1999 that has never been remotely verified (and that didn't specify that it was talking about repubs as opposed to Democrats) probably isn't the best way to do it,

6. You're right onenote
But this reminds me of the so-called "Kennedy Curse." Sure, there have been a number of untimely deaths and other scandals, as well as murders, kids born with severe handicaps, etc., but if you were to look at a comparable number of members of your own family, including distant cousins and shirt-tail relatives, you would probably find similar stories. Because the Kennedys are such a large immediate family, and everything one of them does gets reported, their misfortunes sometimes get blown out of proportion.

There's nothing like exaggerated evil to sell tabloids and fill up e-mail boxes.
