    Now we have an indictment magnet (GV), a corrupt GOB (Touart), a tax cheat (Sindel), a career politician (Murzin), a kid (Kelley), a fool (Kowalski), a boat captain and a pelosicrat running in D2. Seinfeld eat your heart out. You can’t make up this kind of comedy.

    Problem is, it will end up being a tragedy…… :(
