A Big Week for Dickheads

The obvious choice for this week's Dickhead is Dickhead Hall of Famer, Tom "Send Me to Jail Without" DeLay. The guy gets indicted and does what corrupt politicians do so well: attack their accusers as partisan revenge mongers and then attack the indictment itself on a technicality. Luckily Ronnie Earle isn't one to back down. He re-indicted the Hammer on a more serious charge, one that carries as much as a life sentence. God knows Tom "Pass the Cash to Me and Don't" DeLay won't get the full sentence, but now he's crying like the baby he is, literally calling Earle's indictment the legal equivalent of a "do-over." So yes, Tommy's probably Dickhead of the Week.

But there are a couple of others worth mentioning -- other Dickhead Hall of Famers at that...

Bill "Frisky" Frist is getting investigated for his questionable stock sale. He had himself a press conference to read a statement. According to Dickhead Robert Novak, when Frisky finished the statement and the press began to ask questions, he turned his back on them and walked out. And the staunchly conservative Murdoch-owned New York Post has called Frisky "the biggest liar in Tennessee since Davy Crockett."

And one can always count on Mother Dickhead, Karl "Boba" Rove for a quality Dickhead move. After Bush's calls for conservation, a reporter sent an email to Boba, asking what he was doing to conserve. He hit reply, and wrote, "What are you doing to conserve?" The back-and-forth only went downhill from there, with the reporter calling a Rove a "jerk" and a "big meanie," to which Rove replied, "I know you are but what am I?" The reporter then took his ball and went home.

Then on "This Week" on ABC, George Stephanopoulos announced that a source on the inside told him that Bush and Cheney were both involved in discussions surrounding the CIA leak. Dude. At what point does impeachment seem lenient?

(The news of Frist, Rove, and Stephanopoulos comes from the HuffPost.)
