Especially when it comes to corruption: Michael S. Steele, the newly elected chairman of the Republican National Committee, arranged for his 2006 Senate campaign to pay a defunct company run by his sister for services that were never performed, his finance chairman from that campaign has told federal prosecutors. Of course Steele is denying it: […]
Poor Ted Stevens: Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens dropped further behind Democrat Mark Begich in his re-election bid Tuesday as the convicted felon’s 85th birthday became a grueling wait that could determine whether his decades-long hold on power is over. The longest-serving Republican in the history of the Senate trailed the Anchorage mayor by 2,374 votes […]
Democrat Mark Begich now leads felon Ted Stevens by 814 votes in the Alaskan Senate race. There are still about 40,000 more ballots to count, which Alaska says will be done over the next week. I guess they are waiting on Todd Palin to bring them in via snow machine.
The McCain campaign has issued a response to Obama going after McCain not knowing how many houses he owns: Does a guy who made more than $4 million last year, just got back from vacation on a private beach in Hawaii and bought his own million-dollar mansion with the help of a convicted felon really […]
The Wall Street Journal published this little gem: The Logan Act makes it a felony and provides for a prison sentence of up to three years for any American, “without authority of the United States,” to communicate with a foreign government in an effort to influence that government’s behavior on any “disputes or controversies with […]
If you didn’t watch it last night, here is the opening skit of FOX’s soon to be canceled (it sucks!) “Half Hour News Hour”. So for their pilot’s opening skit they pick Limbaugh and Coulter. Let’s see – that is druggie Rush and Coulter, who could be a felon in Florida once charges are pressed […]
Seems like the Republicans still love their dirty tricks. From Matt Stoller: Terry Nelson, an unindicted co-conspirator in the TRMPAC Tom Delay scandal, and the boss of Jim Tobin, the convicted felon in the NH phone-jamming case, is the head of opposition research for the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee. So it’s not a surprise that […]
Since Bob Ney pleaded guilty Friday, we now have a felon sitting on the United States House of Representatives. Now he has said he will resign in the future and the Republicans have vowed to vote him out, but that will not happen until after their recess, which means Ney will continue to draw a […]
This weekend amazed me. During all the talk shows hardly a word was mention about the resignation of Susan Ralston. Instead all focus was on the Foley scandal yet again. Ralston’s resignation is equally, if not more, important than Foleygate. Ralston was Karl Rove’s top aide. You could say she was to Karl Rove what […]
Tell me he is kidding – Conservative activist Grover Norquist says a Senate report connecting him with convicted felon Jack Abramoff is a personal attack from Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) that could hurt the senator’s recent efforts to woo the right for a presidential bid. Norquist says a Senate Indian Affairs Committee report last month […]
