You know, I'm reading this article from another post:

Catch and Release, immediately!

From The St. Petersburg Times:

ST. PETERSBURG -- Max Mayfield, the former director of the National Hurricane Center, is under investigation by his former employer for possibly violating fishing laws.

Mayfield caught a 200-pound Goliath grouper while fishing with friends in the Gulf of Mexico a few days after his retirement Jan.1. The boat captain and crew slid the grouper into the boat through a door in the back, unhooked it, snapped a few celebratory photos and slid it back into the water. It swam away.

Such photographs are common fare in fishing magazines, but since Goliath is a protected species, bringing one into the boat is illegal, even if just for a few minutes. Doing so can damage a protective slime that covers the fish.

and I start thinking...what is the protective slime which covers these elected Republicans that they can be involved in so many nefarious activities and when caught, are thrown back into the 'water' immediately?

And although I know the answer(s), I cannot help but ask the famous MAD Magazine question from the 1950's: Howcum?
