Chuck Schumer isn’t having any of this a la carte crap that governors like Bobby Jindhal is trying. He has released a letter sent to the White House urging them to send either all funds or none at all to state. The money quote (no pun intended – ok maybe a little one): As you […]
People blaming Chuck Schumer for the collapse of Indymac is getting ridiculous. Now we have one of Kudlow’s butt buddies taking the bait. It’s funny how most haven’t heard of Schumer’s criticism of Indymac until after the collapse. Now that it’s over, they have found their scapegoat, who happens to be a Democrat. Here’s a […]
In yet another example of politicizing terrorism in order to push political agendas, I present Attorney General Michael Mukasey (with a thanks to Chuck Schumer and Diane Feinstein): Criminal syndicates, and in some cases even terrorist groups, view IP crime as a lucrative business, and see it as a low-risk way to fund other activities. […]
Here’s Chris’ defense for his comment against Hillary: Matthews said his comments referred to the late 1990s, when Clinton made some appearances to support New York Sen. Chuck Schumer and impressed pols with her grace under pressure during the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Shortly thereafter, she was asked to run for the Senate from New York. […]
Thanks to our new Attorney General. Thanks to Chuck Schumer and Diane Feinstein! Attorney General Michael Mukasey refused Friday to give Congress details of the government’s investigation into interrogations of terror suspects that were videotaped and destroyed by the CIA. He said doing so could raise questions about whether the inquiry is vulnerable to political […]
Glenn Greenwald highlights this little part of Schumer’s speech last night during the confirmation of Mukasey: [The most amazing quote was from chief Mukasey supporter Chuck Schumer, who, before voting for him, said that Mukasey is “wrong on torture — dead wrong.” Marvel at that phrase: “wrong on torture.” Six years ago, there wasn’t even […]
Worse President Ever! Meanwhile, Bush reached an unwelcome record. By 64%-31%, Americans disapprove of the job he is doing. For the first time in the history of the Gallup Poll, 50% say they “strongly disapprove” of the president. Richard Nixon had reached the previous high, 48%, just before an impeachment inquiry was launched in 1974. […]
I used to really like Chuck Schumer. Those feelings have changed in recent history. He is not a man of principal – he is a man of covering his own ass. In today’s New York Times, he has authored an Op-Ed explaining his reason for supporting Mukasey: I AM voting today to support Michael B. […]
Hear are some highlights from around the blogosphere regarding today’s Gonzo hearings. Arlen Specter is now proposing a special prosecutor to investigate the entire attorney gate scandal, including possible contempt charges from the House. TPM also picks up on hints being dropped at perjury charges against Gonzales. This is big considering he is our top […]
As much as he pisses me off at times, I still like Chuck Schumer. This morning on Face the Nation, Orin Hatch kept invoking the old “Clinton did it” excuse when talking about the Libby commutation. Schumer responded; “two wrongs don’t make a right”. For as “bad” as Clinton was for this country (according to […]
