If you are a Republican Senator…

Raise your treasonous hand. Lott may have pronounced you all guilty of taking part in a treasonous act. Booman covered the opening of this scandal here. Apparently Senator Lott had a lot more to add to this than even he thought...

RawStory Scoop: A story about YOU!

Every day I look to the front pages of many Blogs for analysis of recent news releases from various media sources. While this analysis is invaluable, it is also important for us to keep in mind this important thought:

The Grey Lady is Dead!

Brodick Castle, Isle of Arran

For much of its life the castle has been owned by members of the Hamilton family. The older part of the castle is said to be haunted by a “Grey Lady” who starved to death in the dungeons of the castle because she had the plague.

Pretty symbolic of the New York times plight as they are starved of readership. Many of those readers will now avoid them like they have the plague. The irony is that the Grey Lady is avoiding the REAL NEWS like the plague, and that affects our liberty.

Judy Miller can proudly turn to her fellow neocon elitist elbow-rubbers and proclaim “Mission Accomplished!” as she drags the NY Times down to the gutter with her.

Mind you, her editors have helped that situation along as well, by failing to get the stories that, in the past, they would have been breaking.

Stick a fork in the Grey Lady. She’s done.

“Baby let me follow you down…”
(Below the fold, that is!)

Wondering what DeLay’s phone records might lead to?

More phone records, of course!

Democrats question timing of 2002 GOP donations

Rep. Tom DeLay’s political action committee, Americans for a Republican Majority, gave $5,000 to the state Republican Party on Nov. 1, 2002, four days before the election in which Republican John Sununu won his Senate seat by defeating former Democratic Gov. Jeanne Shaheen.

Four days earlier, the state party received $5,000 each from two Indian tribes represented by Jack Abramoff, a lobbyist with close ties to DeLay. Together, the three donations nearly equal the $15,600 Republicans paid a telemarketing firm to make repeated hang-up calls to the Democratic phone banks.

DeLay recently stepped down as House majority leader after being indicted in Texas on conspiracy and money laundering charges. Abramoff also has been charged in an ongoing federal corruption and fraud investigation.

“It just so happens that the money came into New Hampshire just a matter of days before the phone jamming. Is it just a coincidence? I don’t know, but that’s a question I’d like to get an answer to,” said Democratic Party Chairwoman Kathy Sullivan, who argues that the tribes would have no reason to spend money in New Hampshire. “What you have here is the sound of two scandals colliding.”

I wonder how long it will be before the GJ in NH takes action against DeLay and Abramoff?

“Drop the Gavel” on DeLay and Abramoff!
