O, there’d be plenty of evidence of wrongdoing if Congress’ Ethics Committees would just look into Dodd, Rangel, and Murtha. But that ain’t gonna happen any time soon. Pelosi and Slender Reid have made it abundantly clear that their dedication to “reform” and “ethics” is in name only.

And you accuse OW of partisan bias?

I’m not interested in discussing corrupt Republicans here. There are plenty. You brought up Foley and DeLay, and I’m sure you have Cunningham waiting.

But they’re yesterday’s news. And the point isn’t which party is more corrupt, it’s your saying that you go after corrupt Democrats — and that’s been conclusively disproven. Rangel and his millions in tax evasion, abuse of rent controls, and other frauds. Dodd and his sweetheart mortgages from Countrywide as a “Friend of Angelo.” Valerie Jarrett and Tony Rezko ran public housing projects like Parc Grove that they turned into uninhabitable slums while collecting millions in government money.

So, just what is your single, unifying standard for when you call out scumbags, O? Right now, it looks like “accused” for Republicans, “damn near convicted” for Democrats. Especially if they’re in a useful position for your pet political causes. Such as Dodd, Rangel, Jarrett…

Especially when you’ve implied that politicians’ posiition on health care influences how you treat them
My point was in addition to being a douche on an important issue like health care, Baucus was also being unethical with his gal pal.

And what Mark Foley did, while legal, was amazingly unethical and a violation of trust. And the GOP knew. And they helped cover it up.

Corrupt Republicans? Plenty of them. Foley, though — you mean the guy who stayed within the letter of the law while being a complete and utter douchebag? Good riddance. But there was no crime to cover up there.

Unlike the worthies I mentioned above, but you don’t want to talk about.

I guess Murtha, Rangel, et al being on the “right” side of health care gets them a pass from you, right? After all, you make such a point of kicking those who don’t march in lockstep with your wishes just that much harder.

O, you got a perfect right to pick and choose over your outrage. After all, we can’t all get bent out of shape over everything. But you don’t get to boast how you are non-partisan on corruption, then pull a “look over there at the Republicans!” when someone points out quite a few of extremely corrupt Democrats you apparently have no problems with.

Especially when you’ve implied that politicians’ posiition on health care influences how you treat them — see your comments on Baucus above.

Sorry to harsh your mellow, dude. But that brown, sticky, stinky stuff you’re handing out? It’s bullshit. Straight from the pasture.

Also, I’m assuming this is Dennis.

Posting negatives about a Democrat doesn’t count if it’s one of the “good” Democrats conservatives have temporarily adopted.

G’bye, Max. It’s been swell. Hit the road.

Lemme give you a hand with that, O.

Charlie Rangel, tax fraudster extraordinaire
Chris Dodd, mortgage scammer
Valerie Jarrett, slumlord
Jack Murtha, valued ($) friend to lobbyists, defense contractors, and anyone else willing to pay off Murtha’s family
Dianne Feinstein, steered billions in earmarks to her husband’s businesses

Oh, and there was that one guy from Illinois, I think, who steered a million-dollar earmark to the hospital where his wife works — and who coincidentally then got her pay tripled for a job that was so critical, after she left they didn’t bother filling it. But his name escapes me, so I’ll let that one slide.

Someone got a name? Anyone? Bueller?

Anyway, you’re welcome. Happy denouncing!

I don’t suppose there’s any hypocrisy in your failure to acknowledge that the “gubment money” that Mark Sanford spent to take him to the promised land of Argentina to see his lady friend for the purpose of committing adulterous acts, nor the fact that he flat out went AWOL from his official duties as a United States governor for several days, which was flagrantly irresponsible and demonstrated total contempt for the office he holds and the people he is sworn to serve AND a total lack of judgment rises to at least as high a level of misconduct as that demonstrated by Max Baucus. Do you?

So I guess the question of who’s a bigger hypocrite will remain up for debate. One thing’s pretty clear from your post, though, papa-cita: You’re a sexist AND a racist.

Have a nice day.

The very story that this blog post is linked to, published by that oh-so-very-alternative/fringe/narrowly circulated media source, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS (that’s what “AP” stands for, for f^%king sakes!) reads in its second paragraph, and I quote, as follows:

“Baucus said that he began dating former state office director Melodee Hanes after they were both separated from their spouses. The Montana Democrat said they did not have an affair, but began dating while she worked for him.”

And here you were just saying:

“In case anyone hasn’t noticed: The mainstream media has published this story without mentioning that Max is a Democrat. Those who don’t know or aren’t sure will have to find that out on the blogs or on Fox.”

Jeezus. What body part did you have to reach up into to pull this bullshit out of, anyway. And was it your own bodypart, or — perhaps — one that was attached to Rush Limbaugh or some other wingnutty talking head that gets paid a king’s ransom to drop these total piles of shit all over the place for people like you to scramble after and swallow without even chewing like candy falling from a freakin’ piñata.

Your argument is that I’ve only said negative things about Dems in regard to my master plot to reform the health care system. I and others have shown the charge to be another con fantasy.
