Warning! Before you buy a Congressman. There's no Warranty!

That's right. If it busts or gets busted while you're using it, forget about it. All sales are final!

Due to a well gn funds designed quirk in campaign finance laws, a congress critter can use campaign funds to pay for legal fees unrelated to the election. Like working out a plea agreement, or criminal defense.

This year, Tom DeLay (Twit-TX) apparently had no intentions of running in the general, but he raised hundreds of thousands of dollars, quit the race, and will use his war chest to try to avoid prison.

Bob Ney (Oaf-OH)apparently stayed in the race long enough to pay for his legal bills.

Now, I'd be pretty pissed off, if I paid my hard-earned dollars to buy me a Congressman, and it didn't work. I'd demand my money back! You sold me a defective product. There oughta be a law! At least Duke Stir (Crud-CA) worked for a while before he was worn out.

They just don't make 'em like they used to.

1. that's why a good buy nets you 100-to-1.

it has to make up for all the risk of backing a loser or someone gettin' all righteous on your ass.

but if you get a good one, then each $1 of campaign donations is worth at least $100 in loopholes or no-bid contracts!

2. Well,

maybe we can ask Walmart to start importing them from China. Like we do everything else.

Just a thought.....
