Reply #147: What a pantload that Sirota piece is

[MrBenchley]

You'll notice Sirota carefully avoided mentioning this paragraph about her husband while he was telling us what a pure "progressive" Schakowsky was....

"As for her husband, Robert Creamer, and his legal problems, she says they do not appear to be threatening her political career inside the Capitol or in her congressional district, which is overwhelmingly Democrat and she has carried with ease.
Creamer, a political consultant who once headed the largest public interest lobbying group in Illinois, has pleaded guilty to $2.3 million in bank fraud and a federal tax violation. His sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 21 and he could face more than four years in prison."

"Crowley claims his record means "I can go to other parts of the country and turn red seats to blue. I don't think Jan can do that." Really? Is that right?"
Yeah. And it has nothing to do with ideology either. Crowley is too polite to say out loud that having a Democratic leader whose husband is in the slammer for bank fraud isn't exactly going to set voters on fire when she talks about the "culture of corruption."
