Gov. Blowjobovich Harts Himself

My home state Guv goes the route of Gary Hart and dares "anyone" to wiretap him. Remember Gary Hart daring the media to follow him?

Is it hubris or stupidity? Or all of the above?

If you can't remember recent political history maybe you can remember the cliche about glass houses?

And the people should remember their Lord Acton.

The really funny thing about today was that I was listening to the tape of that comment on NPR this morning even as the feds were knocking on his door with a warrant for his arrest.

Can't say as I much care for associating him with blowjobs, though. Unlike our soon-to-be-ex-governor, blowjobs are good for something.

Oh, and in his case, it was hubris and stupidity in roughly equal proportions, mixed with a healthy dollop of greed. And an ego that may be the only thing known to science larger than the macro-cosmic universe.

My mother, who lives in IL, calls him that. I've told her, "mom, I really don't need to hear my sainted mother using the words "blow job." Ever. Still, the name stuck.

I think I'd die of shock if my mom ever used the expression "blowjob."
