Yeah, so it's the biggest shopping weekend of the year. I hope everyone has gone out and spent money to support the 1600 Crew initiative of better living through massive debt. No, really. All kidding aside, one of the best gifts this year is coming from the Abu Gonzales Justice Department (how long will that last?), the investigation of the K-Street follies, or "A Bribe By Any Other Name Is Still A Felony"...
An attorney for DeLay, whose wife worked for a lobbying firm that received client referrals from Abramoff, said there was no connection between her work and congressional business. A spokesman for Doolittle, whose wife received payments from Abramoff's lobbying firm, also said there was no connection with her husband's position. Burns's office has said his actions were consistent with his support for improving conditions for Indian tribes.
Uh-huh. And if you believe any of that bullshit, let me tell you about Osama bin Forgotten's incarceration in the Naval Brig in Charleston...
Oh my, there's more..
Investigators are also gathering information about Abramoff's hiring of several congressional wives, sources said, as well as his referral of clients to Alexander Strategy Group, a lobbying and consulting firm run by former senior aides to DeLay. Financial disclosure forms show that the firm employed DeLay's wife, Christine, from 1998 to 2002.
Well, it all sounds pretty innocent to me ... certainly not making it to the blow-job standard of republican justice, or hell, I might be wrong. All those wives might have been incredibly qualified to work for Jack Abramoff and his personal Bureau of Indian Affairs. After all, they were in it for the gambling...the republicans were looking for the "sure thing", and seemingly had one. Until they got caught.
Ooops. I guess the 1600 Crew and friends are the gift that just keeps on giving, as long as they're gettting. Theirs.
Gotta wonder: if M/M Delay go down, do they get a federal lockup with conjugal facilities...?

There WILL be Democratic wives caught in the net, too. And they and their husbands should go down in flames. I hate the Vichy Democrats, like Lieberman.

No surprise. The Pentagon already is who cooked the prewar intel, courtesy of Rummy and Douglas Feith. (Thank you, Seymour Hersh.) I really hate having DoD getting into the Intel game, and I can't understand why the CIA isn't quietly assassinating the folks who are doing it.
(Not that I'm saying that would be a good thing, mein ubermenschen Eye in the Sky scary guys in black suits! I'm just saying I'm surprised!)
I agree Thersites! Herr Liebermann and his like need to pay their dues.. They have been DINO's for so long that they should have to answer for their coverups and crap. It's time for the DLC to grow a spine and some fucking fangs... It's jugular rippin time and we need to destroy this beast that is in control before it destroys us....
