Congress returns Tuesday with Jim Traficant in jail and Bob Barr and Cynthia McKinney beaten. Where's the personality? Washington is so boring, the Jefferson Memorial yesterday admitted to fathering a statue out of wedlock, just to liven things up.
New York Lt. Governor candidate Dennis Mehiel confessed fathering two out-of-wedlock kids in addition to three kids by his wife. It's impressive. With numbers like that, he could be the first politician ever inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame.
The NCAA refused to let the Arkansas Razorbacks bring their team on a field trip to the state prison. It was a good idea. At the rate players are getting arrested, by next season, first downs are going to be measured by real chain gangs.
Senator Hillary Clinton is reportedly holed up in her Chappaqua house this week working on the First Lady memoirs she agreed to write. She's all alone in that drafty old house. Her husband never stays there because the back stairs creak.
