Another political post:

The FBI discovered $90,000 in cash in a Louisianna Congressman's freezer. Apparently Louisianna weather is a lot hotter than anywhere I've lived. However, because the FBI also raided the Congressman's office in Washington, Republican leaders are complaining about it. Newt Gingrich, who wants to run for President, and who made political mileage because Clinton's Oval Office wasn't sacred from investigation, has even declared that this investigation into bribery "is the most blatant violation of the Constitutional Separation of Powers in my lifetime. The President should respond accordingly and should discipline (probably fire) whoever exhibited this extraordinary violation."

Since I was born after Watergate, from the earliest I can remember, I was repeatedly told about Nixon vs. the United States, and I know that the President isn't above the law. I find it odd that the House of Representatives is so sure it's above the law.

Maybe a letter-writing campaign is in order. Here's a draft:

Dear Supreme Congressional Being,

Dennis Hastert is currently Speaker of the House in some attempt to say that the Republicans take ethics seriously. Do you believe Hastert can be effective in this role, given that he's been so quick and loud to declare Congressional office spaces free from FBI investigation? Why hasn't he been removed from his post yet? By the way, I will be voting in November.

Unfortunately, Brad Miller (my Congressional Representative) is a Democrat, so sending this to him won't go anywhere. But I will send it to both North Carolina Senators (Republicans), and a few nearby Republican Representatives. I'll also send a modified version to Dennis Hastert.
