I still think your readers would rather see what Eliot Engel's lovely Million dollar home looks like,

NO MORE SCHUMER
NO MORE PELOSI
NO MORE RANGEL
NO MORE ENGEL AND HIS MILLION DOLLAR HOME IN MARYLAND.


Actually, VJ, few of the readers even know who Eliot Engel is, and don't care about his house.


Today's news story the Swamp won't touch, courtesy of the Times of London (UK):

"Brian Cowen's critics might say that they've heard all of his speeches before. But last night, they were right.

As the Irish Taoiseach delivered his St Patrick's Day speech at the White House, it emerged that he was accidentally reading off the teleprompter one made by President Obama only minutes earlier.

A startled-looking Mr Cowen – realising he was experiencing more than the usual case of déjà vu – looked back at Mr Obama 20 seconds into his address, and said: "That's your speech!"

Mr Obama is becoming known as the 'teleprompter president' for his excessive use of the prompting screens, which retract when speeches are finished."

Another gaffe by the Bumbler-in-Chief. One that would be front page news if a Republican president did it, but is censored if a Democrat does it.
