The Holy Trinity of Truth

Just when I had said to too many people too many times that the Democrats were spineless, lap poodles, Reid goes and does something as extraordinary as this so that I have to swallow everything I've said. And you know what, I don't mind because, damn, what a brilliant move this was on his part.  So brilliant in fact that Frist had to cry foul and say he would be "unable to trust Senator Reid for the next year and half of this Congressional session."  

I'm going to use my good friend Brian's exceptional phrase:  "Oh please, someone call a Wwwwaaaambulance!" 

Frist.  Talk of trust from his mouth is cheaper than a McDonald's 99 cent Value Meal!  Why this is the man who's under investigation himself for getting rid of his shares in his family's company before its stocks plummeted.  And this from one of the leaders of a GOP party whose current role call is resembling a rap sheet!  No. Trust is not a monicker that sticks very well to these guys right now.  

So yes, Mr. Frist, it looks like Reid is going to rumble in the gutter and it is high time.  Let's stop the stonewalling.  Let's get to the bottom of this investigation of spurious intelligence that the White House used to persuade very good and patriotic American citizens to "pre-emptively" go to war.  

P.S. I stole the picture from Oliver Willis' post regarding today's rumble in the senate.
