UPDATE: WILKES INDICTMENT IMMINENT. NEXT: JERRY LEWIS AND JOHN DOOLITTLE

The Bush Regime just forced Republicrook-bustin' U.S. Attorney Carol Lam out of her job. She's the one who bagged "Duke" Cunningham. She's decided to leave a little present on Bush's doorstep on her way out: crooked Republican contractor/briber Brent Wilkes. He'll be indicted by February 15, her last day, according to the Wall Street Journal.

That could finally be curtains for two of the most corrupt Republican scumbags in the entire Congress, Jerry Lewis, the former House Appropriations Committee Chair, who took more bribes than anyone in Congress short of DeLay, and northern California sticky-fingered bandito, John Doolittle. Both convicted GOP congressmen currently serving time, Cunningham and Ney, were small potatoes compared to Lewis. "It's like nabbing a small time numbers runner as opposed to a Mafia chieftain," one agent familiar with the case said, comparing Cunningham to Lewis. The illustration above shows what a pain in the ass a singing Wilkes could be for Bush and the Republican Party... and Duncan Hunter's ridiculous bid for the GOP presidential nomination.
