AP: Fossella Won't Run Again

The tawdry political scandals of Rep. Vito Fossella (R-NY) could soon be coming to an end. The Associated Press is reporting that Fossella has decided to announce this week that he will not be seeking re-election.

Republicans believe that an open seat would be easier to hold in this particular case, with the Staten Island district likely to vote for John McCain by a big margin. If Fossella were to run again, the cash-strapped national party would have been unlikely to spend any money on his behalf in the country's most expensive media market.

If Fossella does announce his retirement, it would be a big cause for relief on the part of the NRCC.

Ahhhhh . . . Now I'm sad. Fossella was a true American patriot . . . throwing off the shackles of traditional marriage . . . I hear that his fourth wife was going to be a fellow Republican CongressMAN.

Frankly, I would have preferred Fossella to run. It woulda been good sport and woulda kept the Republicants from finding a replacement in time.

One can imagine the conversation at the Fosella home on Staten Island:


Mrs. Fossella: But that's bigamy!
Cong. Fossella: I think that's pretty big-of-me, myself.

Sorry. But somehow, someone had bring Marxism into this.

I think it's time to make Vito a verb.

So sad...I'll miss the good times Vito.

Vito doesn't attend family events because of his gay sister.

Yay, family values.

Really?

God, that is perfect.

The world according to Vito: Better to have a goomah than a gay sister.

My personal favorite Vito scandal was misappropriation of the Muppets in campaign materials. Have an affair! Have a secret separate family in DC! Disown your gay sister! But to put Rosita and Elmo in campaign materials... Sir have you no shame?

That's my Congressman!

Well, at least you're recognizing that he's a Republican. From 1pm (PDT) yesterday, MSNBCs ticker on the bottom of the screen identified Fossella as a Democrat. I guess this their inroads into FoxNewsiness.

CHEATO VITO - his tabloid handle; akin to CLIENT 9, or THE LUV GOV...you earned it, buddy; live in infamy!
