Progress Now, but isn’t this highly speculative?
Republicans blanket people with FOIAs (or CORAs) just so see what’s up. You’d be a fool not to want to know how Schaffer’s oil company interacted with the MMS.
are speculative. Front page diaries on the other hand…
…but once in a while, you hook and reel in the big!
was more of what I was getting at.
Progress Now is giving the word “progressive” a bad name.
What a joke!
Because Schaffer and The Wad haven’t done it and those were the big jokes.
went on a fishing expedition about John Edwards. Hey sometimes you get lucky.
Even if it turns up nothing it continues to highlight Schaffer’s connections to oil companies behaving badly.
Kos has a link up that showed that over nine million in ad buys for Schaffer through August with minimal improvement in his numbers. Losing to a lightweight like Pete Coors in 2004 reinforces the perception of a LOSER. Now it’s being subconsciously coupled with a crook. Framing this candidate is getting easier by the day.

I meet with oil and gas executives all the time and all I got was this stupid press release!
was flying high. All I got was a pink slip in 1985.
did you ask for the cocaine, golf trips and office sex?
At least you can look your wife in the eye…
Bob,we’ll have to reschedule. I’m in Oregon next week.
Truth will tell.
Just felt like you had to insert a little bit about how Government Employees and Democrats are evil?
that wasn’t a ridiculous statement AS.
However, I will say that this press release sent out by ProgressNow is just low-brow. The insinuation made by releasing it is ridiculous, without any basis and just plain immature. Filing a FOIA is perfectly accecptable and frankly, probably should be done given Big Oil Bob’s track record. However, the press release just crosses the line into sleaze politics.
The focus of the DOI scandal should be on the Bush Administration. Where was the oversight? Why was the RIK program even created in the first place? As the NYT stated in an editorial
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09…
Add in the fact that this isn’t the first time (also from NYT)
Gail Norton and the employees of the MMS should be prosecuted for defrauding the American taypayers. A litany of crimes have been committed yet I hear of no plans to file charges. At this point it is more likely that these embarassments to public service will find high paying job in the energy sector (Hello COGA!, Hello AAE!)
I sincerely hope that Rep. Waxman and the other members of Congress insist on prosecution of these thieves, including those that retired prior to the completion of the investigation.
I am tired of being ashamed of my government, it is time for my elected officials to make things right.
The Republican party has turned political contests into a knife fight. They would do the same thing if the tables were turned.
As you said, it’s reasonable to make the request. And the press release is honest – it says they’re looking. I think that’s a fair thing to do.
how many of the managers were Republicans do we AS? Bush created a patronage system and staffed it with cronies. Why are people shocked when they find out that the fox was guarding the hen house. Any similarities with the corruption in the DOJ are consistent with everything that this administration has done. It is pretty easy to see why McSame thinks he can get mileage by running as a reformer. Do you think the tax payers got screwed on this one too AS or are you still in denial about how crooked these people really are?
