Randi Rhodes: Texas Tea & Nevada’s Shame

It's Friday, ya bastids!

Ron Paul announced today that he is running for president. We need people like Ron Paul saying the things that he says. But face it, nobody should really listen to him. Ron Paul interesting. But then so is Charlie Sheen. And I don’t want to be riding in any vehicle that Charlie Sheen is driving. How would the United States end up if you put Ron Paul in charge of it? Well, he raised Rand Paul. ‘Nuff said.

The Senate Ethics Committee has released an explosive report on John Ensign’s lack of ethics. After reading the report from the Ethics Committee, you know why John Ensign resigned. The only mystery is why he hasn’t fled the country. This is extreme, even by Republican Senator standards. I can imagine Larry Craig and David Vitter reading this report and saying “What the hell was John Ensign thinking?” This report is so full of salacious details that a lot of its 68-pages are going to end up stuck together.

In one part of the report, Ensign’s “spiritual adviser” called Ensign from outside of a hotel room where the senator was with his mistress and said “I know exactly what you are doing. Put your pants on and go home.” Wow. I kind of assumed that a spiritual advisor helped you to avoid temptation. I guess we’re well beyond that point when your spiritual advisor is telling you to put your pants on. “Put on your pants and go home.” Too bad—that would have been the perfect sentence to close with if the Senate had expelled John Ensign: “The vote is for expulsion. Senator Ensign, put your pants on and go home.” And then Ensign engaged in obstruction of justice by destroying documents and emails relevant to the investigation. At least he had his pants on while he was doing that. Or am I assuming too much?

Three of bin Laden’s widows have been interviewed by U.S. intelligence. The other two of his wives are separated from him. You might get juicier tidbits from them. Together, these three wives gave birth to 20 of Osama bin Laden’s children. My God. If your kid allowed that to happen with his hamsters, you’d take them away from him. 20 children, and that’s just with three of his five wives! That sounds like a commercial for whatever type of herbal Viagra bin Laden was using.

JUST IN: Osama bin Laden’s porn stash
