"My hands are of your colour; but I shame to wear a heart so white"

I understand the Scots are in the forefront for getting certain stains out.

Who was it that thus cried? Why, worthy thane,
You do unbend your noble strength, to think
So brainsickly of things. Go get some water,
And wash this filthy witness from your hand.
Why did you bring these daggers from the place?

But some stains are impossible to remove. From today's WSJ (can't link to a printed newspaper...odd):

K STREET HELPS Blunt and Boehner in race to succeed DeLay.

Allies of the ex-majority leader, including lobbyist Susan Hirschmann, support Blunt of Missouri. Energy lobbyist Drew Maloney also backs Blunt, who gets help from Baby Bell phone companies, FedEx and the airline industry.

Boehner of Ohio, who received a lobbying-industry award for building "strong business-government relations" in 2005, gets help from tax and pension lobbyist Bruce Gates and Citigroup Inc. lobbyist Bob Shelhas. Boehner splits tobacco support with Blunt, whose wife has lobbied for the industry

And if you can say "Boehner of Ohio" without laughing than you are a more mature person than I, Dear Reader.
