The torch has been passed:

SOMETHING INTERESTING! My main concern about recent liberal scandal-mongering has been worry that, at some fundamental level, nobody cares about this. As the chief of staff in The Contender says to his own muckraking team: "Stocks? You brought me stocks? I want something interesting -- goats! little boys!" That's what the people care about. Not it seems that we may have a sex angle to the Duke Cunningham story as we learn that lobbyist Brad Wilkes ran a "hospitality suite with several bedrooms" at two different Washington, DC hotels. This is a family blog (except for the stuff about goats) so I won't spell out one's potential concerns about the sort of "hospitality" on offer at these suits, but it certainly could stand some inquiry.

Goats ... there's nothing they can't do!

Second thought: Did I get out of this business of goats while the getting was good?
