Thought those of you with a sense of humor might enjoy this one.

This gives us insight that investigations rather than meaningful legislation will be the "order of the day" in this next legislative session. Again, I say, "thank you, Bruce" and appreciate your considering me a friend. When in Boise, give me a call so we can get together.

I interpreted the cartoon to say that it is more important for the Democrats to focus on the issues ("Vegetables,first") than on what they would really, really like to do (which is eat President Bush alive).

It is a good cartoon because the Democrats must do something and do it better than the failed Republicans, if they want to prevail in 2008 in the Prediential elections. If the Democrats focus on "empty calories" (ignoring the desire of the American people for a change in direction), they will lose. Congratulations to the Democrats for being more middle of the road than the Republicans.
