Starring Tom "Hammer" DeLay, Jack Abramoff, and a cast of corruption.
From the Times: "Michael Scanlon, former aide to a powerful congressman and onetime partner of a wealthy lobbyist, pleaded guilty today to a federal conspiracy charge as part of a deal in which he agreed to cooperate with an investigation into possible wrongdoing by some lawmakers."
Coming soon to a courtroom -- or a TV set -- near you.

See Talking Points Memo, The Left Coaster, TalkLeft, and Think Progress. Firedoglake has a great post.
And see The Next Hurrah: "Whatever your complaints and concerns about this President... 2006 is the only way to readjust the relationshipo between the Congress and the WH. If you want Congressional oversight, you'd best elect a few more Democrats. Else there'll be more of the same for the next three years. And for so many reasons, from Iraq to scandal resolution, that would be a national tragedy."
I try to be "fair and balanced" in my moderation, but I don't think I've ever been this partisan. We do need more -- many more -- Democrats in Congress.
