"Senator Harry Reid found himself trailing big in Nevada re-election
polls. He said he was misunderstood when he called George Bush a loser.

"White House communications director Anita Dunn was videotaped telling a
college crowd her favorite political philosopher is Mao Tse Tung, the

when the Dow Jones passed ten thousand. Congress is just furious. They
want to know why Wall Street profits are so high while their money under
the table's remained the same."
