Should Federal Workers Suffer for the Sins of Their Leaders?

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/30/us/politics/30freeze.html?_r=1&emc=na

Obama says he is going to freeze the pay of federal workers at a time when the Congress will most likely vote themselves another pay raise, inflaming the American public who voted in droves against the Democratic Party in the mid-term elections. This move is a gift to the Republican Party at a time when they need it badly.

While Nancy Pelosi is neither like the Borgia Sisters nor like Lady MacBeth, she does suffer from a vast image problem. And when the defender of censorship in America, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton who decided to become an art critic during her Senate term by sponsoring a bill to burden the FBI with policing the internet to censor anything that she might feel is a "copyright" violation when such censorship is totally unnecessary since neither Nagisa Oshima nor Jean-Luc Godard need to really have the FBI shut down internet sites but would prefer that thieves not steal their designer luggage at the airport.  Neither TSA nor the FBI nor the Wiki Leaks is the problem.

The problem is Hilary Rodham Clinton herself, way out of her depth, floundering on the brink of war like some drowning Albatross whose feathers are coated with petroleum from the collision of the tanker Exxon Valdez, as much as they are now coated by oil from British Petroleum, with, as the Ancient Mariner would have said, her mojo not working. 

As everyone knows, the wonderful Joe Biden, a former basketball player of whom it might have been said by the late Lyndon Johnson, "He must have given Obama that fat lip this weekend, because if it were me, darlin', I sure would have," did commit plaigerism by copying a speech delivered by a British member of parliament once in the seventies or eighties when Brad Pitt was wearing a gorgeous page boy hairdo as an actor on "21 Jump Street," the reality show version of "That Seventies Show" you can find on facebook.

Yes, Joe Biden had a plaigerism scandal once so perhaps Eric Holder should get up off his very large derriere and sue him in a stunning tour de force in this new farce in our TV pilot, "The Clinton Dynasty."

Our stars, PD (Johnny Depp?) and Monica (Lucy Liu?), decide to pose as Uighurs with forged Chinese passports with two little children trained personally in the martial arts by Jackie Chan and get arrested. in a Chinese restaurant by just having them eat there.   They are then sent back to China by cops following the Secure Communities rules.  When they get there, they are put in a Chinese prison until a Uighur lobbyist convinces Harold (Ralph Fiennes) and Kumar (Cate Blanchette) who now work in the Obama White House to acccompany them to Bermuda until the forged passports are discovered and Hilary Clinton (in a cameo role by Whoopi Goldberg) decides to go after them. Many good chase scenes by African stunt drivers from Arlandria who already have a union.

Good luck, Hillary!
