If only the world were so benign.

Just for sh*ts and giggles though, I don’t particularly care if my Congressman takes lobbying money. If he votes the way I want – its Ok w/me. So if Senator Sludgepump takes money from Mrs Smith’s and votes for apple pie and motherhood, and Senator Crustacean takes no money and votes aginst AP and MH, I’m voting for ol’ Sludgepump. The point being: I measure him by what he does not by his/her presumed motivation.

He did the honorable thing for both himself and the country

Yeah, he got caught taking payoffs in return for defense contracts. He’s “honorable”. A real prince.

Time magazine is reporting that Duke Cunningham wore a wire during meetings with parties unknown.

Still want to go out on that limb, boys?

He did the honorable thing for both himself and the country and fell on his sword.

Quaker, believe what you will.

Oh, thank you.

Frank, you posted up some crap from Ana Marie “Penis Joke” Cox as if it was somehow proof of something. (You never said exactly what, but I’m guessing it was something along the lines of “See? See? Even big liberals think there’s nothing to all this talk about corrupt Republicans!”)

Let me give it to you straight. Cox is a joke. She specializes in telling salacious tales and making wisecracks. Her opinion is all “sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

2) That means we have to believe in her powers of divination?

2) She’s no friend of Bush’s

Guess who write that?

It was originally a story in the Wall Street Journal, but it’s behind their subscriber firewall. Atrios and Think Progress both posted scant one-liners about it. However, both of them phrased it as, “Abramoff says…”

I think the sixty you refer to are what has been reportedly found
on JA’s Blackberry. (The tip of the iceberg?)

The bottom line is, nothing here proves a  culture of corruption , regardless of how many times you say it, or how much hyperbole you use& .

Abramoff claims to have the goods on sixty lawmakers. If he’s not kidding, I’d say “culture of corruption” would be a pretty fair description.

Mark down that time and date. He finally stopped repeating that Ann Coulter lie about Clinton being convicted. With these wingers it’s like pulling teeth from a duck.
