Any guess who wrote this? A new group was recently formed that is calling itself a group of experts for the purpose of making the Republican Party attractive to voters again. The strategy is supposedly to go on a listening tour so they can talk to the American people and hear what people are concerned […]
Getting the “Republican Congressional Medal of Distinction” a week after you agree to rehab in lieu of conviction on drug (cocaine and marijuana) charges. Damn those Republicans are a smart bunch!!!
51 current and past state attorney generals, of both parties, are now calling for Congress to investigate the Don Siegelman conviction. Dan Abrams even highlighted some of the very questionable things that have occurred in this case: Hopefully Congress will hear the growing calls to take action on this.
Last night Dan Abrams talked about the 60 Minutes report that Karl Rove was behind the prosecution and conviction of former Al. governor Don Siegelman. At the end of the segment he called on Michael Mukasey to investigate the whole matter. On a personal note I got to say I am really becoming an Abrams […]
This is amazing. Last night 60 Minutes ran the segment on Karl Rove’s involvement in the Don Siegelman conviction. If what has happened in Alabama doesn’t seem communistic enough for you, there is more. All last week the White House was pressuring CBS to not air the segment. Well it did air last night, but […]

Here in Butler County, Ohio, we are plagued with GOP scandals also. Just today we had this happen: A Butler County official pleaded guilty Thursday to a misdemeanor crime. Former county treasurer Carole Mosketti avoided jail time for her conviction on a conflict-of-interest charge, a judge fined her $1,000 and ordered her to pay $3,800 […]
Perhaps this from the WSJ Blogs gives a good reason: If there’s any doubt about the importance of getting a record of Senate investigative interviews, consider the case of J. Steven Griles. Griles, the former deputy Interior secretary, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Washington today to lying to Senate investigators when he […]
MissLaura pointed out this interesting paragraph from a Washington Post article: Vice President Cheney today repeated his charge that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s approach toward the Iraq war would benefit al-Qaeda, saying that he was not trying to impugn the speaker’s patriotism but instead hold her accountable for the consequences of her policies. O.K. I’ll […]
I came across this clip via Glenn Greenwald. It is from Hannity and Colmes where Cincinnati’s own midget version of Bill O’Reilly, Willie Cunningham, was a guest going on about the “Strickland is gay” school yard tactic that Ken Blackwell’s campaign and the Ohio GOP has launched. Cunningham said one thing that really caught my […]
