Wednesday, September 10, 2008 Palin's shallow record makes her worse than Bush (1 comments)
Usually vice presidential candidates don't demand much focus.

This is a parody song I recently rewrote from a songwriter's version earlier. I sent it to Stephen Colbert in hopes that he will perform a version at the next event he does with Bush in the audience.
Tuesday, April 4, 2006 Process that led to DeLay's resignation started with petitions and complaints
In 2003, I presented a petition to the House ethics committee signed by several thousand fellow Americans to oust DeLay. It was one of several such requests, and I believe these efforts helped give the committee some backbone to later go after DeLay.
