Corruptocrats
Michelle asks:
How’s that house-cleaning coming along, Nancy? Well, well, well. Remember left-wing, sleazebag loon Jim McDermott, the Democrats’ favorite hypocritical wire-tapper? There’s breaking news on his decade-old case (hat tip: William A.) Eugene Volokh has more on the Boehner/McDermott case, via Instapundit.
Meanwhile, David Keene follows up on the Feinstein Milcon story in The Hill:
…it appears Sen. Feinstein was up to her ears in the same sort of shenanigans that landed California Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham (R) in the slammer. Indeed, it may be that the primary difference between the two is basically that Cunningham was a minor leaguer and a lot dumber than his state’s senior senator.Melanie Sloan, the executive director of Citizens for Responsible Ethics in Washington, or CREW, usually focuses on the ethical lapses of Republicans and conservatives, but even she is appalled at the way Sen. Feinstein has abused her position. Sloan told a California reporter earlier this month that while”there are a number of members of Congress with conflicts of interest : because of the amount of money involved, Feinstein’s conflict of interest is an order of magnitude greater than those conflicts.”
And the director of the Project on Government Oversight who examined the evidence of wrongdoing assembled by California writer Peter Byrne told him that “the paper trail showing Senator Feinstein’s conflict of interest is irrefutable.”

3- “if you get-out of Iraq you will have hell to pay down the road.
and may God help you all.”
We’ll cross that bridge of Bush’s poor Iraq invasion judgment when we come to it. For now, hey, we ‘won’ the war 4 years ago (’mission accomplished’) and now it’s time to end the occupation and get our troops out of there.

1,3, Tovu, it is time to address America Haters and Defeatocrats like you. You think you an just say Bush hates the troops because of the veto, but you are just dishonest. Bush swa the pork, the Defeat, the other crap in the bill. Send a clean bill to Bush and he’ll sign it.
YYou corrupt Defeatocrats won’t send a clean bill because YOU don’t want to fund the troops and this is the way you’ve chosen to hide your Hate teh troops agenda.
