Too many Buds

We thought at first it just had to be a legpull. “Bud Shuster - IRF’s Man of the Year.” This is for Capitol Hill’s most brazen hustler! This is the guy who had a telephone team of staffers set up making offers of ‘pork’ for each congressional district to buy votes for TEA21. His campaign manager even days of the month/independent lobbyist odd days is only free pending an appeal on an embezzlement conviction. These are people who really think ethics is something invented by their enemies as harassment and the law is something they are ten miles above. As for the IRF someone there clearly had... a lot too many buds.

1999 is shaping up as the year of Sick Joke Awards. After Bud.the Nobel Peace prize has to go to Slobodan Milosevic, Jerry Springer will get the Pulitzer from fellow journos, and the Family Man of the Year award is going to Bill Clinton.
