The last king of Brinkley
The Hill picks up on Congo's reported hiring of the head-banging, tall-talking, check-kiting, toga party-crashing, fist-throwing, dead-beating, check-bouncing , inmate-chaining Tommy Robinson as a lobbyist. For a self-proclaimed $10,000 to $12,000 a month.

You can laugh but hey, the guy has name recognition, he knows people, you can't intimidate him, he loves publicity, he's as resilient as a urethane bumper, predictable as a daily migraine . . . and he gets things done.
As long as his personal goals, variable financial ethics and braggadocio don't get in the way, what's not to like about this walking, guaranteed front-page headliner for rent?

Seems Senator Webb's (D Vir) exchange with the disaster monkey was more interesting.

Sadly, Don Key is right. Who better to represent a tinpot African dictatorship than a tinpot Arkansas dictator? There's only one thing for us to do: bring back Say Macintosh and get him a gig lobbying for Rwanda. Sweet-potater vs. Dick-tater in the Thunderdome! Two lunatics enter! One lunatic leave!

That's funny....the NY Times just said the same thing about Kim Jong IL. Fox News just said the same thing about Rumsfeld and Gay Times just said the same thing about Karl Rove. Wonder if my wife talks about me this way?

Hey! Hey, guys! You missed the other hot stories on the link:
--Virginia senator-elect Jim Webb wanted to slug the prez for a remark Georgie made at a political/social function. (Talk about a headline grabber, that would have been it.);
-- And Wal-Mart has forsaken God and is paying the price in lower earnings.

Sorry Lwood. It seems my reading ability has gone south. You saw it first.
