Senator David Vitter (R-LA) has called on Senator Roland Burris (D-IL) to resign. Senator Vitter, you’ll recall, refused to resign when exposed as a hooker fucker.

News that three-quarters of Loyal Bushies remain unemployed has given libtards everywhere a healthy and enjoyable dose of schadenfreude.  Paul Krugman thinks this might be a sign that the days of wingnut welfare are over:
