When is a runner not a runner? When he's Tom Delay!
In a strange turn of events, a court ruled this week that Tom Delay, erstwhile unrepentant hammer of Congress, must appear on the ballot in his Texas district this coming November. Those of you who were following this story no doubt recall Delay purportedly moved to Virginia with the express intent of getting -off- the ballot; what with those pesky will-they-won't-they criminal charges looming, he felt it best to retire and get out of the way, so that the local party could nominate a replacement. Alas, this doesn't look like it will be happening. The Democratic challenger, Nick Lampson, is no doubt filled with inane glee as he can now run against a man who has said he doesn't even want the job anymore. Such is the power of name-brand - whether positive or negative.
Speaking of name brand, who hasn't heard of viagra! I'm told it's wonderful. Rush Limbaugh thinks so too. From the Department of 'Well it seemed like a good idea at the time' comes the story that Rush was caught rushin' through the airport with bottles of the drug made out to another man. I am left puzzled as to why Limbaugh thought having his doctor make out the prescription to someone else - to keep matters quiet - wouldn't bite him hugely in the ass later, given his track record with prescription painkillers. Maybe he should have just embraced it and gone on the record as a spokesman instead. 'I'm Rush, and I stand tall and lean to the right - thanks to Viagra.' What worried me more wasn't the bogus prescription label so much as the fact someone, somewhere, is prepared to jump into bed with Rush Limbaugh.
