Gold: Mark Souder, the former family values Republican Congressman from Indiana, recently caught in an affair with his aide. Souder’s cookie jar moment is all the more ironic, due to
the prevailing video of Souder discussing the positive aspects of abstinence education with his paramour Tracy Jackson. Yes, do as I say, not as I do, was it ever thus? Why is he back on the list, you may ask? This time it’s his idea. He’s back – just to let you know why he really resigned! His departure had nothing to do with the affair, or the reasons in his teary ‘I’ve been caught’ speech. Nope… zip, nada, zilch! You can’t even believe them
when they’re not running for, or holding office.
Silver: Kevin Sklenarik, The Reading Phillies’ genius of promotion. Feast your eyes on the promo item for the first 2500 lucky fans on Aug.3. The"tribute" to Ryan Howard is giving
headaches to both fans and others blessed with the gift of sight. Howard’s gnome, reminiscent of a bearded lawn jockey, isn’t widely viewed as the thing of beauty that racially and aesthetically challenged Sklenarik sees, though fans turn out for worse on minor league giveaway nights..or so I’m told, and none of those items are promised to protect your gardens!
Bronze: Newt Gingrich. Nothing new to see here folks. It’s another model of morality, the amazing two-faced man. Newt’s speaking out of both sides of his face at the same time, as he attempts appealing to those in favor of, and those against the treasury bail-out. Perhaps we should be nervous when Newt is in an agreeable – read election minded mood?
