Comments on: Lieberman to Reid: “Will $250 Thousand Be Enough?” – VIDEO http://firedoglake.com/2008/08/28/lieberman-to-reid-will-250-million-be-enough-video/ Firedoglake weblog Wed, 25 Nov 2009 08:25:02 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: mui1 http://firedoglake.com/2008/08/28/lieberman-to-reid-will-250-million-be-enough-video/#comment-1604554 mui1 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 13:49:22 +0000 http://firedoglake.com/2008/08/28/lieberman-to-reid-will-250-million-be-enough-video/#comment-1604554 <p>I heard it was N** H***** and H******* as well. If Lamont had dished “petty cash” out for the same purposes, would he have gotten away with it? Blumenthal says it’s not his territory to investiagte. we don’t have a rats chance in hell of getting our corrupt DOJ to investigate. But I think this story should really hit Holy Joe smack back in the face where it belongs, especially now. There have to be a lot of witnesses. What was the going rate supposed to be? $200? Hmmm.</p> I heard it was N** H***** and H******* as well. If Lamont had dished “petty cash” out for the same purposes, would he have gotten away with it?

Reid seems to think that he appears clever rather than corrupt, and when that doesn’t hold, Reid pulls a serious face and starts talking about “needing votes.” So what is it Senator Reid? Pay to play Holy Joe, or “we need the votes that we aren’t going to get from the wingnut”?</p> G*d/dess, watching Harry Reid on that clip is like looking at the Wizard of Oz after the curtain is pulled.

Invesco Insanity
Ben Craw and I just arrived at Invesco Field in Denver, site of tonight’s acceptance speech by Barack Obama. We were lucky enough to have grabbed the last couple of seats available in the press box.

An hour before the day’s official convention schedule kicks off — and six hours before Obama is scheduled to speak — a scattering of people are already in their seats above the field. Delegates are filing in. They are seated on the field itself. It’s a bright, sunny, not-too-warm day here, but that’s a long time to be baking in the sun.

I hate to even comment on the set prepared for Obama for his speech. The ridiculous right wing meme that the set is a Greek temple to Obama is too mindless to deserve comment. The set looks like nothing so much as the East Colonnade of the White House.

The demand for press access to this event is so great that we’re apprehensive about losing our seats here in the press box. We have seats available in the stadium itself as well as some access to the field itself.

We’ll be bringing you reports as we are able, including video as the day unfolds.

Lieberman was known to even skip his official Senate nomination at the Connecticut Democratic convention because it was held on a Saturday, and he adhered to the Sabbath while running with Al Gore in 2000 as well. He does vote when the Senate is in session on Saturdays, but walks to the Capitol.
