   ....or obscene than an ex-Marine (and yes, I mean "ex") trying to
   [1]bribe Congressmen to screw the troops.

     House Democratic leaders will add nearly $4 billion for farmers to
     a bill funding military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan to
     attract conservative Democrats concerned that the measure would
     wrongly constrict President Bushs power as commander in chief.
     Democrats may also add money for childrens health insurance in the
     hope of winning the votes of Republicans such as Illinois Reps.
     Mark Kirk (R) and Judy Biggert (R), whose home state faces a $240
     million deficit in its State Childrens Health Insurance Program
     (SCHIP)....
     Murtha has remained steadfast about putting restrictions on the
     president.
     We will have three restrictive amendments, he said.

   That's about as cynical as it gets, folks.
