TPMtv: Muck-O-Rama Contest 2007!

We're coming up to the end of the year. And here at TPM we're going to see off 2007 with a contest to recognize things like the biggest bamboozle of 2007. Biggest fib. Most abject loss of dignity in testimony before Congress. We're looking for your help on a couple fronts. What should the categories be? And most of all we need your nominations for winners. For more details and how you can participate, check out today's Holiday Muck-O-Rama episode of TPMtv.

The Muck Gap

Okay, it's the unreported political story of the year: the GOP's ability to dominate scandal news even while in the minority. Usually, the majority party, with more power and money, takes the scandal cake. It's almost an iron law of politics. But whether it's lobby shop or the restroom, the GOP has so far been able to reverse the historical tide, maintaining a decisive muck advantage even in the political wilderness.
