"Oh blessed gods of the sublime and ridiculous."

http://pmcarpenter.blogs.com/p_m_carpenters_commentary/2005/04/sitting_content.html


Sitting Contented, Cesspool-side

Our political waters just don’t get any better than this:

Tom DeLay is drowning; Hillary Clinton is sailing; Bill Frist is bobbing; George W. Bush is, naturally, adrift; and if all that isn’t enough to lift the hearts of political junkies everywhere, now a relative of Richard Milhouse Nixon is rumored soon to be diving in.

-snip-

Finally there’s the news of that Nixon family member -- presidential son-in-law, lawyer and major-league newcomer Edward F. Cox -- weighing a U.S. Senate race against Hillary Clinton in 2006. Forget that Edward doesn’t have a prayer against Hillary, who is probably the craftiest office-holding politician alive. Remember instead that the ultimate joy of this race will be, quite simply, that we’ll all have another sorta-Nixon to kick around again …

3. Run Ed Run.
See Ed Run.

Why yes, he should be encouraged to run. I think he would make a formidable candidate against Hillary. (not!)


Gee Trish, After everything you went through with your father, do you really want to go through it again with your husband?
