force them, some reluctantly, to take an oath that has been so harmful to this country.

His involvement in the Abramoff scandals alone would have landed anyone else in jail with his college buddy. Instead he seemed immune.

Recently I read that he is funded by some powerful and obscenely wealthy special interest groups. It looks like he's getting desperate since the formerly lap dog Republicans in Congress have showing signs of questioning his Royal Decree and maybe refusing to keep the oath they were pressured into signing. Both he and Rove, his mentor from Young Republican days, are losing their power, and possibly their funding if they fail to deliver.

Like Rove on election night, he's in a constant state of meltdown these days and it's fun to watch him flailing and lashing out like a two-year-old.

People are wondering who made HIM king? And why do the media continue to provide a platform for this corrupt, idiotic moron?

Why don't they, while they have him there, ask him about his Abramoff connections eg?

If anything demonstrates why we need a free and independent press it is the media's continued complicity in the crimes committed against this country by these psychopaths.

At least ask him 'who elected you to any office? And follow up by asking him where he gets all his money? I live for the day when we have a free press and these crooks have to answer for their crimes.
