POSTED RESPONSE TO A COLUMN IN THE TIMES
Oh, my, the U.S. Senate is such an august and dignified institution, the very symbol to the world of scrupulousness and honesty.
It is a fact that U.S. Senators, on average, spend two-thirds of their time chasing campaign donations from rich donors.
It is peopled largely by men past their retirement age who hold on to their seats as though they were personal property - owing in great part to all those campaign funds and the favors done in return.
It has featured a cast of characters who easily could be made into a Tussaud's tableau, The Hall of Political Horrors.
And their last effort to attack someone - the redoubtable George Galloway - turned into a laughable farce.
Have at it, boys.
