Who Do You Feel Sorry For?


I feel sorry for former Maryland Lieutenant governor Kathleen Kennedy Townshend. Before George "Macaca" Allen's implosion took him from shoe-in to laughing stock, she had a firm grip on the title of "worst political campaign in the last decade."

I feel sorry for the children of the Senate barber. You know at least some of Conrad Burns' ill-gotten Abramoff loot went for tips. With Jon "flat top" Tester coming in, I don't think Christmas will be the same next year.

I feel sorry for the administrative assistants working on K Street. That's going to be one big pile of resumes to sort through in the next few days.

Finally, I must say it, I feel truly sorry for Donald Rumsfeld. Getting fired by George W. Bush for incompetence is like Paul Prudhomme telling you to drop some weight.

I feel sorry for Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. Having to wait to see if the Senate passed a no confidence resolution against you. Man, that had to be torture. No one should have to go through that. I feel sorry for the guy who (purportedly) supplied...

- Pity Party: Who Do You Feel Sorry For?
Lots of people deserving pity recently. Here are mine: I feel sorry for George Allen. Former Senator Macaca tried so hard, but with Keith Ellison, the first Muslim American Congressman, being sworn in with Thomas Jefferson's personal copy of the Koran,...

- Who Do You Feel Sorry For?
I feel sorry for Katherine Harris. It took years of hard work and concerted effort to become the biggest joke in Florida politics, but a couple of IM's leaked to the press and Foley wiped her right off the late night map. I feel sorry for George Smoot....
