It doesn't matter...


If you can stand it, check out this masterpiece of The Hammer doing dance steps in Dancing With The Stars circa 2009, something to behold considering just how powerful and corrupt  Tom DeLay truly was in his heyday as GOP House Majority Leader from 2003 - 2005 but he's not alone, not by a long shot as seen in a polemic by Frank Rich titled The Stench on the Potomac

This crowd is as intractable as it is incorrigible. There are no term limits, because Washington amnesia perennially wipes the slate clean. No one seems to remember anymore the furor kicked off by a 1998 Post "Style"-section piece in which Beltway grandees like David Broder and Cokie Roberts vented to Sally Quinn about how the impeached president had trashed their pristine city. "Regardless of whether his fortunes improve," Quinn concluded, "Bill Clinton has essentially lost the Washington Establishment for good." Well, that was then, and this is now. As This Town makes clear, these days Clinton alumni are the Washington Establishment, whether in the Obama administration or on K Street, and they can hardly wait for the greater dividends that will accrue should the former First Couple be restored to the White House in 2016. If that happens, Leibovich will not have to write a sequel, because it is already writing itself.

Read it and weep  because in the end, it doesn't matter... , ever.
