We put the MOCK in Democracy!


CLOSING ARGUMENTS begin in the corruption trial of Rod Blagojevich. He'd have had better luck avoiding jail if he had appointed himself to Obama's seat instead of trying to sell it. Just think of what that would have done for Democrats in the Senate — and for comedians everywhere. The former governor passed up a golden opportunity to testify since he has so much to say about the case.

Week of July 19

REPUBLICANS eager to win back the House in November are delighted to see Democrats tripping over each other. The GOP won't even need an agenda of its own when the Dems are providing so much to run against.

Week of July 12

ARIZONA'S crackdown on illegal immigration isn't just worrying illegals. It's worrying Democrats, too. The new law requires police to check the papers and status of anyone when there is a "reasonable suspicion" they might be in the country illegally.

Week of July 5

ELENA KAGAN, like so many nominees since Robert Bork, tries to play it safe at her confirmation hearings by avoiding giving her opinion on serious legal questions that might come before the Court. That trick won't win her a GOP endorsement.

Week of June 28

AT THE END of its term, the Supreme Court rules that it's not fraud if you don't get the money. Solicitor General Elena Kagan couldn't convince a single justice that Enron executives broke the law by depriving shareholders of their "honest services." Time for her to get a new job.

Week of June 21

PRESIDENT OBAMA'S speech from the Oval Office was pretty much panned all around. Sure, he looked small and didn't inspire confidence, but his final perfomance was way better than this leaked recording of his first draft.
