UPDATE: The press conference is on, and they're busy spending time patting each other on the back. It's 11 past the hour and they still haven't told us a damn thing, other than how great they all are. Gosh, they're all such great men and women, I just love them all. What is this, a high school graduation mixed with the Oscars? Tell us the damn results, you arrogant out of touch fools. I want to thank my wife, my staff, and especially Mark Foley, without whom this entire child sex scandal wouldn't be possible. Shut up already. Oh my God, they're still talking about themselves, they're 15 minutes into this press conference and they're talking about themselves. And they wonder why people hate them?
CNN just cut away from the press conference, mid press conference, because neither the Dem nor the Republican said a God damn thing other than lauding themselves (about a child sex predator scandal, mind you - inappropriate much?). We now have no idea what they found because the Democrat.
