Congressman gets investigated; Bush goes unpunished

Pictured here is Tim Mahoney, an alleged Democratic congressman from Florida's Palm Beaches area.

I say alleged because he's a member of the Blue Dog Coalition - which I call the Bush Dogs. The Blue Dogs are a soulmate of the wretched DLC. The Bush Dogs might pick better issues than the DLC for their respective districts, but overall they're a sorry-assed little club.

Now, ABC says Mahoney paid a former mistress over $100,000 not to sue him. I honestly don't know if it's true. You have to consider the source. It's been obvious this year that ABC is hell-bent on electing Republicans, and they're probably just trying to give his GOP opponent a boost.

If Mahoney did what ABC claims, it's gravely wrong. But what's amazing is that Democratic leaders are investigating Mahoney over a frigging ABC story while not doing a fucking thing about Bush - after promising to impeach him!

You read that right: They're investigating because of the say-so of ABC, of all people. These days, ABC (which seems to stand for Anti-Barack Channel) is only a few steps above Fox News. (Not like the other networks are much better.)

Nancy Pelosi wants Tim Mahoney "immediately and thoroughly" probed over ABC's allegation. Fair enough, Nancy - as long as Bush is also "immediately and thoroughly" investigated over the government spying scandal, the illegal war, and countless other misdeeds.

Otherwise, thanks for nothing, Nancy.

Why is a war criminal like Bush allowed to remain in the White House for 8 years without being investigated?

Even if ABC's story on Mahoney is accurate (and I'm sure they'd ignore the story altogether if a Republican was involved), there's already enough cause for the next Congress to launch hearings about Republican bias in the media. That's been long overdue, and the media's bias is so influential that Congress needs to get to it lickety-split.
