9. I particularly liked this quote

Will he now go on a tour of the nation's best golf courses looking for the "Real Fundraisers"???

If I kept a lurker account on FR, I'd be inclined to suggest they look in Texas, but it would be to easy, and I'd get bumped off a minute later.

15. And Here's A Message For Lurking Freepers

Here's a message for Freeperstanis lurking on these boards: when Progressives again control the Executive Branch one of our highest priorities will be to investigate and prosecute cases of criminal corruption committed by so-called "Conservative" Republicans.

Right-wing efforts to foist right-wing, anti-defendant jurists should have the interesting result of either bettering the chances of corrupt House and Senate politicos elected between 1994 and 2006 to go to the slammer or bring up some of those Gee Dubya Bush-appointed judges on impeachment charges of their own for not doing their jobs.

Have fun back in the Freeperstani caravanserai!

16. I'm afraid that was an exercise in futility...

the words you use are WAY too big for freeper brains. :)

17. Don't forget that today's Chimpo judicial extremist court nominee...

... is tomorrow's impeachment target. We know Clarence Thomas lied to Congress; he'll be just the first.

We're takin' names, and we WILL kick FRascist ass.

LOS ANGELES, May 27 - A federal jury today acquitted Hillary Rodham Clinton's former chief fund-raiser of charges that he underreported the costs of a glittery fundraising event in 2000 to the Federal Election Commission.

In closing arguments on Wednesday, prosecutors accused the defendant, David F. Rosen, of accepting lavish, secret gifts that were "clearly meant to buy influence and access." Mr. Rosen, who was tried on two counts of causing false filings to be made, was the national finance director for Mrs. Clinton's 2000 Senate campaign. If convicted, Mr. Rosen, 38, could have received up to 10 years in prison. The charges grew out of a campaign fund-raising event in August 2000 called the Hollywood Gala Salute to President William Jefferson Clinton. He told campaign officials in Washington that the event cost about $400,000; the government says expenses for the gala topped $1.1 million, although the total cost of the extravaganza remains unknown to this day.

Much of the testimony in the course of the three-week trial concerned the arcane rules of the Federal Election Commission during 2000, rules that Judge A. Howard Matz at one point described as even more incomprehensible than the federal tax code.

But the trial was also enlivened by descriptions of stars and their expensive quirks (Cher required a private plane that cost more than $30,000).
