THE TOP TEN:
#10: Above, a politician of unknown party affiliation deflects attention from the Abramoff scandal, which some say touches all elements of the corrupt Republican Party, as President Bush's ratings fall below 35% for the 4th time this month. In other news, a former Special Forces Army Ranger Pilot speaks out against the Iraq war.
Steve O
#9: "How did that money get in my freezer? Well, as near as I can figure, the National Guardsmen I sent to my house during the hurricane must have taken out a pizza and left the money as payment."
D. Carter
#8: "I wuz gonna return it just as soon as global warming thawed it out."
Rodney Dill
#7: "If I say it came from 'cattle futures', will ya'll leave me alone?"
walrus
#6: "If it's from the Frigidaire, I got it fair and square."
