**brownie** operating on the possibly unwarranted assumption that you yourself are black, the question arises…how did they know to call you? A calling list of black voters would be pretty close to the last thing I would expect a Republican campaign to have at their fingertips. So where did they get it?

Four weeks ago, a House Republican resigned in disgrace after stalking teenage boys.

Three weeks ago, a House Republican pleaded guilty in a corruption scandal. (Though he didn’t quit.)

Two weeks ago, a House Republican got caught when his campaign attempted massive voter intimidation.

At the time, I wondered how any other House Republican could possibly crash and burn in a more dramatic way.

Now I know: by [threatening to assault a guy in a wheelchair](http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061029/ap_on_el_ho/wyoming_house_poll_2).

But this raises the question, “What will the Republicans do to top this?”

I think it will be found out that a prominent Republican has committed rape…wait that’s been [done](http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=44451) already.

Well my dear **Bovine Methane effluvia** , unless Bill Clinton is a Republican and currently in office, you may have a point.

And in the end the Testimony of Juanita Broderick was found not to be useful even to Ken Star, I still think Broderick saw the harassment, jail time and economical loss that other women that did not gave Kenneth what he wanted ended with, Broderick had more to lose if she did not come with something.

She didn’t threaten to assault him, she promised not to… so long as he remained in the wheelchair. 🙂
