With Jack Abramoff's guilty plea, both parties are doing their best to appear to be free of lobbyist influence. Ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaah! AAAH-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha ha! HA HA HA HAHAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHA!

Heh, heh. Whew. Heh.

So, I've chosen Rick Santorum as Dickhead of the Week. Rick narrowly won the award over House Speaker Dennis Hastert. Really, it could've been any number of people, and perhaps it's unfair to pick on Rick, but on the other hand, who better to pick on than Dickhead Rick? After all, Mr. K Street is all about getting the lobbyists involved. And yet he claims that he's got a long history of pointing fingers at nefarious members of both parties. Unless, of course, those nefarious members also hate faggots in his manner of faggot-hatred.

But both parties get hypocrisy points for their duelling "reform" proposals -- no more free meals, no more free trips, no more hard-to-get tickets to prestigious events. The Democrats claim that their "reform" plan is harder hitting than the Republican "reform" plan. And Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid got in his zinger, saying that putting the Republicans in charge of cleaning up lobbying was like "asking John Gotti to clean up organized crime." Zang! ZzzzP-Pow!

Here, again, the Democrats prove themselves to be pansy-ass motherfuckers. Let's get some real goddamn reform proposals. I mean, seriously. Lunch is the reason we have corrupt lawmakers?

If you put together a proposal, one that, say, takes lobbying money out of the actual election process, you could not only create (holy shit!) real reform, but also win over a shitload of disgruntled, understandably cynical swing voters.

So, yes, the Democratic Leadership is a bunch of Dickheads for pussying out on an issue they could so fucking easily win. But because he's so ridiculous in his attempts to sound sincere about reform, Tricky Rick Santorum remains Dickhead of the Week.
