It's only 95% of the politicians...

...who give the other 5% a bad reputation.

Speaking of bad reputations, rumors are flying that Senator Robert Torricelli (D, NJ) may drop out of the current race for senate and resign his position. This would totally ruin our reputation as a state.

Huh, and there I was, thinking that was only true of lawyers.

Hey, Strom Thurmond checked out...Maybe we can cling to the good hope that we'll soon be done with Helms and D'Amato as well.

Not to mention Charles Schumer. Ick!

And the Torch is outa here I really have no love loss for a man who took over $50K in bribes and then lavished his girlfriend (I am sure his wife is proud). We'll see if the people of New Jersey can elect someone with character.

Yes, Helms is leaving. Now we have Liz Dole!

Seriously, if she does well she could very well become the forst woman president due to the sheer amount of publicity she gets. Erskin Bowles, we know ye not! (And BTW, saying you were with the Clintons doesn't get many North Carolinian's happy )

Ruin it how? Harrison Williams went to jail. Merely abandoning a campaign is chicken feed.

Here's Slate Magazine's take on the Torch's flameout. (Now Forrester has to find something to campaign on other than not being Torricelli.)

It's called irony. NJ politicians' reputations are well known and in the case of Torricelli well deserved.

Wonder where Torricelli is going to get the money to buy gifts for his girlfriend. Maybe we should take up a collection....
