Notorious P.I.G.
Issue #89

Our "Hippo of the Week" is from This Week with Kookie Roberts.

She interviewed Oklahoma's fifth biggest embarrassment,
(after Paul Harvey, Steve Largeant, Jungle Jim Inhofe and
Schindler's Schmuck, Tom Coburn) ....Senator Don Nickles. 

Kookie: What about the abuses in campaign funding, Senator? 

Nickles: It's illegal to launder money.
               It's illegal to take foreign money.
               It's illegal to solicit money on federal property.
              The Democrats have clearly... 

Kookie: I have a question:
              We've all seen the videotape of GOP Rep. John Beynor
              passing out checks from the Cancer Lobby on the FLOOR
              of the House of Representatives.
              Is that illegal? 

Nickles: ...I... Well, ...um....I...
             ...I... I don't know all the rules of the House..I.. 

Kookie: Oh, please, Senator!
              You don't know the rules of the House?
              The House is federal property, is it not? 

Nickles: ...I... Well, ...I'm not the judge of that... 
 

HUH? 

If the new Senator Straddle sees a Republican break the law
with his own two eyes he's "not the judge of that." 

But if he SUSPECTS the possibility that a Democrat MAY HAVE done something wrong,
he gets on live TV and squeals like a chicken caught in a tractor's nuts.
 

Senator Don Nickles is the BartCop "Hippo of the Week."
