Default 'Tis the season for Republican felonies




Another crooked Republican got indicted today. Ted Stevens, senior Senator
from Alaska, has been taking bribes and, apparently, not hiding the dirty
money very well.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/30/washington/30stevens.html?hp

Mr. Stevens, 84, was indicted on seven counts of falsely reporting
income. The charges are related to renovations on his home and to gifts
he has received. They arise from an investigation that has been under
way for more than a year, in connection with the senator’s relationship
with a businessman who oversaw the home-remodeling project.


An octogenarian (who was probably headed for retirement) couldn't contain
his greed. Instead of completing a long career of honorable service and
retiring with the respect of the nation, he chose to sully himself in a
tawdry money-grubbing scheme.

It's a good thing the Republicans proclaim themselves the country's morals
watchdogs. God only knows how disgraceful the scandals would be if the
Democrats were in charge.

With all those bribes, he can't afford a freezer?

The freezer was confiscated in Cunningham's boat.

This was the scumbag who wanted the FCC to regulate satellite radio
and cable/satellite TV programming...one of those family values guys.
Good...hope he burns.

I think it's worthy that while a couple of the neo-cons in this group
provide links to OT topics, it's some biased blog. George, a liberal,
used the NY Times. Nice touch.

If you're implying that the Times is a bastion of "liberal" politics, I
disagree. Their news reporting is as factual as any paper's. Also, FYI, the
Times carries blogs by several of their reporters and editors, and they're
clearly labeled as blogs. You know you're getting a mix of news, opinion,
and observation in them.

No, my comments are made out of respect for the NY Times. In other
words, you aren't using a piece of **** blog from some unknown asshole
to start an off-topic post.

Perhaps.

I would say (as I did above) that there are obviously some Dems that
have broken rules. The evidence is clear that far more republicans
have. Does this mean that the Dems who broke rules are "better" than
the republicans who did?

No, it just means that there is evidence that far more of these
'moral' and 'honest' republicans who are the ones bringing up
"integrity" all of the time are far worse. Foley, Cunningham, Stevens,
the DOJ, Craig, and on and on.

I also find that distorting entire branches of government, such as the
DOJ, far more alarming than even the systemic gay hypocrisy shown by
the right or instances of individual corruption on either side.

As a famous philosopher once said, "Ignore the man behind the curtain!"

Well, maybe they are just better at
not getting caught.But that's a good thing, because
it indicates competency.

We've had a lot of political entertainment at the expense of one Kwami
Kilpatrick. A current political ad points out that he has been indicted for
9 different felonies ranging from perjury to obstruction of justice to
bribery.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/03/...ion/index.html

There is a related unsolved murder that periodically gets brought up.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmA2SObc_-U

Kwami's mother is beginning to feel the heat for the antics of her son.

Yes, both Kwami and his mother are...

Democrats.

Arnii, a word of advice: If you don't want to get caught by the cops, quit
bringing up the crimes you think you've gotten away with.
