Will you indulge me?
Can we do a little Condit, just for old-time’s sake?
Excellent!
Okay, here’s the deal: When last we checked in with the pitiful, soon-to-be -former congressman from Modesto, he had decided to run for yet another term in congress. Condit told the LA Times he was “a little embarrassed” (cue: snicker here) by all the support he’d gotten from well-wishers across the United States. “People relate to this in the sense that I have been mistreated in terms of my civil liberties and in terms of the theory in this country that one is innocent until proven guilty,” Condit told the Times.
Now, the House Dems are in a bit of a bind because it’s tough for them not to support a fellow Democratic congressman for reelection – no matter how big a bozo he might be.
So let me see if I can give them a hand.
You may have heard that Gary Condit got a subpoena from a DC grand jury in mid-November. What you may not have heard is that he has resisted complying with that subpoena, apparently on the grounds that complying might violate the separation of powers doctrine.
This joke just sorta tells itself doesn’t it?
First Condit got Marina Ein to flak for him. Now he’s gotta drag James Madison into the mix?
