Happy MD, Daddy Do Wrong

Usually, dads do better on Mother's Day than on Valentines Day. There is something about the day that seems pretty simple — just do whatever wife or mother says she wants and it will be over soon — that seems to work. (Yes, sometimes dads get caught in the middle, but no worse on this day than any others.)

But it doesn't always work out. And this week's Objet d'eBay pays tribute to the daddy who will have one of the worst Mother(f**r) of all Mother's Days.

"The Chocolate Cowboy and Daddy Whistle" are two songs that speak to New York Congressman Vito Fossella's position today. He had never told his wife about his Virginia family and he didn't tell the mother of his 3-year-old that he was lying when he said he was separated. So he has to pay homage to two women who are angry and will be disappointed (not to mention honoring his own likely PO'd mom) and no amount of chocolate or bells and whistles is going to get him out of this Daddy Do-Wrong mess.

**Perhaps we could make Fossella "Scapegoat Daddy" and free ourselves by giving him all our sins to take with him into the wilderness? He is going into the wilderness, right? **
