That’s messed up! How on earth did MM become friends with a guy who consorts with the likes of Emanuel, Fox news executives, Veco and g*ddess knows what else? Okay, what about Howie Klein? He hates Rahm Emanuel. And you must admit its a catchy fundraiser line, “Make Rahm and Fox news executives mad, give to Benson.” When is the date of the primary? If it’s August, that’s tight. If its three months from now, anything can happen. We’ve seen that with Lamont.</p> Seriously? That’s messed up!

1) Does he have to resign from the Senate, or just from the leadership?

Good question, because it shows how much people trust Senate ethics. And Tom Delay is still at large.

Berkowitz has also taken scads of money from Rahm Emanuel, several Fox executives, Bill O’Relly’s producer, Henry Kissinger’s main business partner, and the top two executives in the Carlyle Group.

I am sparring in my mind: which is more despicable Henry Kissinger’s main business partner, Bill O’reilly’s producer, Fox executives or Rahm Emanuel.

Shouldn’t there be a huge Blue America Benson fundraiser? Called “down the Toobz, make Kissinger/Emanuel/Fox mad, and contribute to Benson.” It would probably make Lieberman mad too.
