A post-election e-mail to executives at the drug company GlaxoSmithKline details just how tough. “We now have fewer allies in the Senate,” says the internal memo, obtained by The Washington Post. “Thus, there is greater risk over the next two years that bad amendments will be offered to pending legislation.” The company’s primary concerns are […]
While everyone is busy spinning and twisting what Kerry said, this story is growing even faster: A Democratic activist who verbally confronted U.S. Sen. George Allen at a campaign rally in Charlottesville yesterday was shoved, put into a headlock and thrown against a window by three men wearing Allen stickers, according to a widely disseminated […]
It’s amazing that it took a child predator in the halls of Congress to get the Ethics Committee back in action. When you think of all the corruption happening in Congress, could there be anything else that would be so important for them to address? Well if your mean Jean Schmidt then yes there could […]
It’s no secret that privacy has been under serious attack this year. I have documented numerous cases here, and now we have a new one for the files: In a breach of privacy, the Republican National Committee erroneously e-mailed a list that contained the names, races, and Social Security numbers of dozens of top Republican […]
From the front page of Today’s Washington Post: A Republican congressman knew of disgraced former representative Mark Foley’s inappropriate Internet exchanges as far back as 2000 and personally confronted Foley about his communications. A spokeswoman for Rep. Jim Kolbe (R-Ariz.) confirmed yesterday that a former page showed the congressman Internet messages that had made the […]
This shows you what the Republican controlled House is really all about: An Atlanta man told a local television station and newspaper that former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley (news, bio, voting record) sent him sexually suggestive messages after he served as a congressional page 10 years ago. Tyson Vivyan, 26, of Buckhead told WAGA-TV in […]
That’s right. Even after knowing about Foley’s problems, the leadership talked him into running again this year. In another stunning development, Robert Novak today reveals in his column – published in PostOpinion on Page 31 – that even after House GOP leaders knew that Foley had written an inappropriate e-mail to a 16-year-old former male […]
With all this talk of race baiting and racism from people on the left (which I believe is utter bullshit), I want to raise a serious question. Last week in Blue Ohio News, I posted about this flyer that the Blackwell campaign put out: And here is the story that followed: A group of more […]
This deserves some serious questioning: If you falsely yell “Fire!” in a crowded theater and everyone tramples each other to death, you get sent to jail. So what should be done with Ann Coulter, who has argued that The New York Times should have been blown up by Timothy McVeigh and that Times executive editor […]
After key members of the lunatic right’s internet force took to the binary world this weekend to launch their attack on the New York Times Travel Section for publishing an article talking about St. Michaels, Md. last week, things have gotten ugly. Glenn Greenwald has been all over this story. From their original claims that […]
