WASHINGTON, D.C. - A long-standing bet between the two Majority leaders in Congress, House leader Tom "Hammer" DeLay and Senate leader Bill "Kid Frost" Frist has ended. Upon the first indictment, "Hammer" was forced to eat crow, just days after he boasted to the House Ethics Committee, "You can't touch this."
"Ha.. I knew that boy would be the first to go," said Frist yesterday, "And he had the nerve to say my little stock sale would topple me. Tell Tommy Boy he might as well do some insider trading now.. He's Texas toast. He was the majority leader, now he's just a majority of one. 2008 is all me, baby."
"The bigger they are, the harder they fall," countered DeLay, "At least people understand what Billy the Kid's being investigated for. Everybody understands insider trading. Ask someone - anyone - to actually explain my fundraising scandal."

Of course, this one-upmanship is all in good fun. At the end of the day, all the Majority leaders are still Republicans. Nevertheless, since he was the Majority leader who got indicted first, and therefore lost the bet, DeLay will be forced to wear an "I Heart Terri Schiavo" T shirt for a week.
