Didn’t some ‘officials’ get off the hook when they were caught by ‘paying’ for their freebies? Meals and tickets? Didn’t Susan Ralston pay after the fact? I don’t think they are focusing where they should; the House and Senate elscted members and DOJ appointees. Appointees aren’t schooled on what is allowed and what isn’t. If you have no sense of honesty to begin with you are doomed to get caught.Any time when the torturing is going to get the dominos falling UP?

The only thing worse than big government getting fatter and fatter by cynically spoon feeding the unwitting poor is willing big government getting fatter and fatter by force feeding the cynical rich. That’s the difference between Democrats and Republicans now that neither party gives a damn about our founding principles or our future generations’ well being. http://newsprism.wordpress.com

Wow… this article from the Times about the bond-ratings and the housing market. Quite interesting how the deregulated markets worked in our favor… not.

by my read, that puts a whole host of “other officials” (note the plural in that) — both within the Department of Justice and within the government at large — on the potential hook from Mr. Coughlin’s cooperation deal.

I doubt it. We are talking about the Bush Justice Dept. They are not going to put anybody in that admin “on the hook”. Everybody in this mess is getting plea deals, including the Head Crook Abramoff. Where will it end?

It really takes no time at all to run a country or a state into the ground. Just amazing.

McCain only wants to run on his platform until he’s been given many bags of money by Rich Clusterfuck fans. After that- It’s Adios.

So does this mean that you think he wants the bags of money so he can divorce his current wife? I mean, she’s got so much money, it would keep him tied to her even if he didn’t like her. Maybe that’s why he went into politics; so that he could be in Washington and wouldn’t have to stay home with her all the time. Seriously, why do you think McCain needs “mo’ money?” I think he just wants a lot of power. A very lot of power. Same as Bush. Same as Clinton. And all of them will do or say anything to get it!
