The prosecutor is a good government Republican.
Why is her party affiliation so deep in the story that it doesn’t show in your quote?
Let’s see, Detroit’s jailed mayor is a Dem, too.
Why are there so many corrupt Dems?
Just asking.
People would note that it was Baltimore and know that the Mayor has been ordained by God to perpetually be a Democrat.
the same reason that 4 out of five Americans think GW is a nightmare; why Obama won in an unprecedented landslide; why CO Republicans are losing everything but a few counties; why Sarah Palin is a joke; why the U.S. has failed its objectives in Iraq; why New Orleans drowned; why the economy has tanked; and why I have a boil on my toe.
…..in recent news story here about the Speaker of the House being in hot water. Not one bit.
If she’s corrupt, I want her out. Not a typical Republican response, is it?
This last election cleared us of much of the dead, corrupt weight we’ve carried.
2010, 2012 will be the Dems turn.
Still offering those steak dinners?
But mostly selfishly because I like to meet you guys. I don’t end up caring too much who pays.
If I were a Colorado Dem, I’d be honestly at least a little worried about:
Governor
CD-7
Senator Bennet’s seat
I have serious doubts that spending more than a trillion dollars will do anything other than prolong our economic problems, much as bailing out failing business models will do anything other than make a more expensive and fantastic end to the Big 3.
As of Jan. 20th the Colorado Dems will be on the other end of hope and change, and responsible for actually leading, and Ritter’s not done a good job with that. He might be the most vulnerable.
Being in so much power brings an equal amount of exposure. Every little slip is going to be magnified, and then we R’s get to pretend how outraged we are, just like you guys did when you were out of power.
2010 will be one of the most expensive gubernatorial campaigns in history (certainly the most expensive ever in Colorado). The oilies and their out-of-state monies are going to come rushing in faster than our resources get piped to Chicago to keep Blago toasty.
I might take you up on it…
I was born and raised in the People’s Republic.
Not tofu averse, but when I was a kid, I did manage to destroy or hide three copies of The Moosewood Cookbook from my mother.
I like good beef, but prefer grass-fed, free-range, small-scale, locally-farmed…
Circling the wagons is more Republican than Dem. Not exclusively, but usually.
And yes, more Dems will fall in the future because, dang ain’t this great, there are more Dems in office!
You’re just seeing it through your lenses. When did the FBI find $90k in Jefferson’s freezer?
What year was that?
Wagon circling is as bi-partisan as corruption and ineffectiveness.
n/t
Talk about corrupt!
He is accused, and has admitted to having an office in NYC that is not declared in some campaign reports. He is NOT accused of stealing, selling votes, etc as far as I am aware.
That sets tax policy, and he’s at a minimum far behind in paying his taxes, at worst, caught red-handed not declaring income and using his power to buy rent-controlled apartments.
if true, definitely make it worse. And, criminally actionable.
starring GWB, the Republican leadership, Abramoff, Haliburton Cheney, the assault on the constitution, the bankrupting of the country teetering on a great depression, sexual misconduct involving male pages, bathroom stalls at airports, prostitutes in Washington, etc., will finally be over.
$3 Trillion will have been spent on the misadventures abroad….Wow, how that money could have been better spent.
Let’s see….in the above…we have $2000 for misappropriated gift cards…for shame!
Never would have predicted that response…
Last time I checked, Barney Frank was still in the Senate…
What?
We will still have hundreds of prostitutes in Washington, being partially paid for by us.
It’s called Congress.
If you think political corruption is confined to one party, you’re not being very honest.
there is blame to go around. But lets not forget–still serving–Sen. “Diaperman” Vitter.
or…
Newt “Fornicator” Gingrich; Bob “can’t keep it in his pants” Livingston;
How about the Governor of the State from which our pure new President-Elect emerged?
The Head of the SEIU meeting in Blago’s office to find a fair price for Obama’s Senate seat?
Look at what turmoil the Dems are in internally less than three months after winning everything.
Or Rep. Jefferson. Get rid of the corrupt, but let’s not pretend (as A.S.” attempts to do) that Dems are more often corrupt than GOP. Again, the pox is on both houses so to speak.
But being in power in everything now, the Dems will have to work harder to self-correct, or they will lose that power just as quickly as it came.
Did you just call being gay, sexual misconduct? Though for the record, Barney Frank is in the House.
LB is referring to the Steve Gobie “scandal” in the House back in the early 90’s (or late 80’s?).
I’m assuming LB isn’t dumb enough to equate sexual misconduct w/ being gay…
I’m a pro-gay marriage Republican.
Frank’s a giant tool, IMO, and that has zero to do with the fact that he’s gay.
I did ask it as a question because I found it hard to believe, and I’m glad to discover that it was the wrong assumption. You have to understand that some of us young’uns (mid-20s) aren’t aware of obscure mini-scandals from near two decades ago. Hell, I didn’t know about the Keating Five or the Weather Underground until last year.
I’m 24 and was all over the Gobie detail. 😛
I’m kidding…and I’ll admit to having no idea what the weather underground was either…
Is in 10 days, are you still going to be angry and bitter?
Anyone not angry with what this administration had done to this country in the last eight years has their head up their ideological tukus. Bitter has nothing to do with it.
I know it’s healthier to laugh….and I do.
Now just go away.
or whatever it’s called, for a 3 whole minutes, I desperately needed that. By the time the reporter asked the second question I was thinking how all of my shoes are either clunky, heavy platforms, or have spiked heels (minimum 3″).
as another unfairly targeted GOP brought down by the liberal media.
Anyone who has watched HBO’s The Wire is not the least bit surprised by this news story.
(Barack Obama’s favorite character on his favorite TV show)…
“Indeed.”
The embarrassing criminal indictment against Dixon also included these prized winners: get her sister a job with a company doing business with the city. Vote to approve a contract that benefited that company. Hire campaign chairman to do computer work for the council president’s office, just pay him in installments of less than $5,000 each. Bang a guy whose company is a subcontractor that gets tax breaks from the city. Accept gifts from the guy (bangee) and jet off with him for sex and shopping.
I am a prick? Whatever girlfriend!
Appears her prick maybe a city subcontractor that gets tax breaks from the city then jets off doe shopping and sex with Ms. Dixon.
ps I haven’t seen any word on those corrupt bastards Union Bosses and Corporate Bosses (denver chamber) loading up to fight the government ethics amendment #54.
What’dup?
for $2,000. It would indeed be a deterrent to others however.
“She is charged with using at least $2,000 in donated gift cards for Target and Best Buy to buy . . . a PlayStation 2, an Xbox 360 and other electronic devices for her personal use[.]”
She bought a PlayStation 2, instead of a PS3.
I sure hope not. We don’t have enough representation from the African American community as it is.
