24. Remember the Obama Scandals of a few years ago?

Right, neither do most of us. It was a phrase coined by Fox and Frauds to refer to a bunch of scandals that weren't. They evaporated when the Republicans, Fox Noise and National Hate Radio (pardon my redundancy) decided that the horse they had been kicking was really dead.

In the meantime, 47 Republicans Senators send a letter to the Iranian Ayatollahs in an effort to usurp the President's ability to conduct foreign policy. Now just what do you think the Republicans' reaction would have been if Tom Daschle had been trying to conduct discussions with Saddam Hussein behind Cheney's back? The only subject of discussion to which they would have been open would have been whether to put the Democratic Senators responsible in front of a firing squad or pack them in a gas chamber.

On a lighter note, the kind of note we all need every now and then, Andy Borowitz heard that North Korea's Kim Jong Un is furious with the 47 Senators for not sending HIM a letter.
