Oh No! You mean there could be corruption and scandal surrounding Rob?

Hollywood director Rob Reiner stepped down temporarily as chairman of a state early education commission amid scrutiny about the potential misuse of taxpayer funds for a June ballot initiative he is spearheading.
In a letter Friday to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Reiner said his leave from the First 5 California Children and Families Commission will end June 7, the day after voters cast ballots on Proposition 82. That bill would establish a state constitutional right to preschool for 4-year-olds.
Reiner helped create the Children and Families commission, a state agency that uses tobacco taxes for early childhood development programs. State law prohibits the use of public funds for campaign activities.
But a Los Angeles Times story earlier this week detailed how the Children and Families commission spent $23 million in state funds on ads that promoted the benefits of preschool.
The television ads aired this winter, coinciding with a signature- collecting campaign for Reiner’s “Preschool for All” initiative, Proposition 82. The commission stopped airing the ads when the initiative got state approval to be on the June ballot.
The commission also earlier paid for a political consultant who now is the campaign manager of Proposition 82, the paper reported.
Reiner won’t go to jail, but I think he should. Meathead got a swelled head with his political victories and thought he could do anything. Just ScamAmerica, he thought public monies were his private playground.
Don’t expect Bill Lockyer, the Democrat AG, to really look close. Like the DA in Milwaukee, Lockyer is not about to put Democrats in jail.
This is NOT possible! It is the Republicans who are the Culture of Corruption!!! Demokratz are pure as the driven snow! Anyway it doesn’t matter, becasue they are the party for the common man, and, it’s all Bush’s fault!!!
More from old meathead whats he got to say now? is he afraid of whats happening to his own credibillity:roll:
I forgot to add: Hillary in ’08!!! IT’S FOR THE CHILDREN!!!
(it always is, isn’t it?)
A total joke, sad,sad,world but its coming to a real bad end soon. isn’t this fun?
If the Republicans have a “culture of Corruption”, why is it that the people standing trial for vandalizing voter turnout vehicles and the elections officials who were convicted of fraud are all Democrats?
Is there anyone who doesn’t know that the Kennedys paid for their huge Hyannisport compound with funds obtained from JFK, RFK, and Teddy’s dad being a bootlegger? Under current RICO statutes the feds would seize the compound and sell it off as the fruit of ill gotten gains. Now THERE’S a government auction I’d like to see happen.
Not only is the Kennedy fortune dirty money (I heard someone characterize Joe Kennedy as the crack dealer of his day) but nearly all of the money is in a Trust, safely out of reach of the confiscatory income and estate taxes that Chapatraitor Ted and his Liberal DemokRat palz just love (for the rest of us…)
