Looks like Musgrave lost...

"Looks like Musgrave lost..." (Sung to the tune of "Muskrat Love.")

Marilyn Musgrave is a right-wing congresswoman from Colorado. She is so well-known for her hatefulness that she is one of few recent members of Congress to win a Ku Klux Klan endorsement (as Bush also did). The American Conservative Union also ranked her as the most conservative member of the House.

Musgrave has also accepted trips from groups like the Heritage Foundation that support authoritarian foreign dictatorships. She cosponsored a federal "right-to-work" law to break up labor unions and suppress wages. She even helped lead the effort to tell the Bush regime to illegally suspend prevailing wage laws in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. And she was ranked by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington as one of Congress's 20 most corrupt members.

Well, guess what? Marilyn Musgrave losed too. Musgrave got defeated in her reelection bid by a resounding 12% - in a Republican district.

Yes, I know, I know. It isn't like the Greens have taken over Congress or anything, but I can't remember the last time the Republicans have fared so laughably.
