It HAS Been Telegraphed !!! (Re: DeLay\Ethics)
Just so ya know why it is useful to tune in to Faux News etc...

Krauthammer (a most appropriate name if there ever was one), said on Brit Assbite's Special Report, that the good news about the new Ethics Deal was...

That Dems might have to pull in the reigns a tad or two on any investigations of DeLay or other RePukes, because of there own possible excesses.

Now I haven't heard of any ethics breaches by Dems, but... I've lived long enough to know that there are probably Dem Staffers all over the Capitol Building tonight checking there underwear, so to speak.

I say... let the chips fall where they may. But, let's get to the ramparts to fend off the coming spurious, unequal, and otherwise obfuscated drivel that will come with the barrage on the horizon.

What say you?

:shrug:

2. Yup. Let's dump our rotten apples, too.
Democrats welcome honest scrutiny. And I sure hope we're ready for it.

4. What I'm Worried About, Is The UberLords Attempting To Equate...
like they did with Senator Boxer paying $15,000 to a family related business for her campaign, to DeLay's paying out $500,000 dollars to wife and spawn.

I'll agree that I find both practices slimy, but what the RePugs are gonna do is... say it's the exact same thing.

i.e. Everbody Does It!!!

No harm, no foul!

8. Which would be worse??
Showing that Republicans are not the clean and upright scumbags and not worthy of being held up as people with high moral values...

maybe Democrats will be slimed but if it exposes the repugs for what they are would it be worth it?

11. I agree... it is usually the repugs that are the worse offenders AND
usually there is no comparison to the offense.

10. I say that the ethics committee can't save his sorry ass from
the laws of his own state. I think the more intersting case is that one down in Tejas.
