Wonkette's Week in Review: No Standing Eight Count
* The week started off with a double shot of intelligence stories to get us all hot and bothered . Did we say hot? We meant super-hot .
* Sometimes they pop and sometimes they sizzle .
* When nothing's really happening, it's easy to get bored. Luckily, Katherine Harris makes such a lovely distraction.
* If it gets really slow, then it's time to make your own fun . First step: think long and hard about who would win a knock-down, drag-out scratch-battle between two crazy and energized congressional furies . It turns out, no one had to think that hard after all -- it was a landslide .
* Next in the ring , House firebrand and chatterbox Sheila Jackson-Lee squared off against "Sergeant Homemade Sweater" herself, Virginia Foxx . This one had a closer finish, but was still a straight beat down .
* This is getting pretty exciting, and now it's time for two of the pre-tournament ranking favorites: Cynthia "I Train In The Off-Season"McKinney and Nancy"Don't Make Me Give You The Crazy-Eye" Pelosi. It wasneck and neck for a while there, but Nancy reached back to her street roots, and clawed out a victory .
* We're all about equal opportunity, especially in the eye-gouging, arm-biting world of congressional catfights. Enter: the men . The polls stay open until Monday, so keep your clicking fingers warm.
* Nothing else actually happened , so we set up some side-bets: beauty this time , instead of destruction, and the name of the rose .
* No chance of any real fun this weekend, what with the rain and all the police around , so just stay in and consider the possibilities in the Wonkette Fantasy League .
