Political comic Will Durst has a new book out, “The All-American Sport of Bipartisan Bashing,” available from Ulysses Press.

Alaska Senator Ted Stevens was indicted on 7 felony counts of bribery. You know how a bribe is different than a campaign contribution? A campaign contribution has six syllables. A bribe only has one.

The New York Times intimates John McCain had a romantic relationship with a lobbyist. McCain wants a retraction. Barack Obama wants an investigation and Bill Clinton wants a phone number.
