Dickhead of the Week - James Tobin
Some of you may have heard about the 2002 New Hampshire Senatorial election -- the one in which the New Hampshire Republican Party jammed the phones of the Democratic Party during their get-out-the-vote campaign. Republican Senator John Sununu won the relatively close election, aided in part by this scheme.
James Tobin, one of the orchestrators, was just sentenced to ten months in prison. After running the successful Senatorial election, he was put in charge of the Bush/Cheney campaign for all of New England. He resigned (oops!) when he became subject to the federal inquiry.
Oh, but it doesn't stop there. Thanks in large part to the fallout from this douchebag's antics, the New Hampshire Republican Party has less money in its bank account than I do (until I pay for my computer repair). And trust me when I say that means it's fucking broke. So the RNC has picked up the legal fee tab. It's almost like they're supporting his illegal activities. No, not "almost like." They are supporting his illegal activities.
But wait, there's more. The investigation is reaching, naturally, into the White House itself. In the midst of the phone-jam, a series of calls were made to the White House from the NH Republican Party. Some are speculating that those calls went directly to Ken Mehlman, now the RNC Chairman. He denies knowing anything about it.
Add this to your list of a half-dozen or so separate (but equal!) scandals resulting from myriad unethical (at best) or criminal actions. And watch the Democrats feebly "fight back."
Pretty soon, I'll need two separate (but equal!) categories here at B&E: 1) Dickhead of the Week and 2) Shitbird of the Week. For now, though, James "Please Suck My" Tobin is both.

Ah, my fiendish and scientific friend, we must do lunch some day. On my little island I have conjoined a shitbird and a dickhead. The resulting creation is... marvelous.
It will be important to define the terms beforehand. What, exactly, is a shitbird? What, exactly, is a dickhead? Is it possible to be both? Are there subtle distinctions, or is it clearly delineated? These are the kind of late-night semantic debates we librarians relish.
The rest of you probably don't give a shit. Or a dick, for that matter.
I think I am now officially as disgusted by the Democrats inability to do anything that doesn't resemble intellectual masturbation as I am with the Republicans deviousness and bastardliness.
So there.
