Uh-oh...despite the media's attempts to hide it, New York Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton has been caught with contributions from Jack Abramoff. http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2...5/125414.shtml

You say the weirdest things sometimes. I'm as antigun as you are. What I don't do is turn a blind eye to law breakers as some of the people here do.

Huh?
I thought you had to break a law to get arrested.
Maybe it' different in Texas?

That's not true. When you see cherries in your rear view mirror and you pull over technically you are under arrest until that officer releases you.

They're turning on each other now........

I knew it was only a matter of time.

Somebody should tell them that Delay hasn't been convicted of anything.

FunnyGun, you need to call your congressman and tell him.....oh wait! Your Congressman Ney is as big a crook as Delay is...ooops sorry.

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - About two dozen Republicans have promised to sign a petition calling for elections to permanently replace Rep. Tom DeLay as majority leader in the U.S. House of Representatives, aides said on Friday.

"We have commitments for about 25 signatures. The letter calls for a leadership election for a permanent majority leader," said Matthew Specht, a spokesman for Rep. Jeff Flake (news, bio, voting record), a conservative Arizona Republican."

It's happening fast.

Disgraced Congressman 'Wore a Wire'
Sources tell TIME that Duke Cunningham wore a wire after agreeing to cooperate with a graft probe
By TIMOTHY J. BURGER

Washington's power players have always bragged about being well-wired, but for disgraced former congressman Duke Cunningham, "wired" wasn't just a figure of speech. In a week when legislators are focused on the question of who else might be brought down by ex-lobbyist Jack Abramoff’s cooperation with prosecutors as he seeks lenient sentencing over his two federal guilty pleas this week, sources tell TIME that in a separate investigation, ex-Rep. Cunningham wore a wire to help investigators gather evidence against others just before copping his own plea.

Sources familiar with the situation say Cunningham, a California Republican who pleaded guilty Nov. 28 to taking $2.4 million in bribes — including a yacht, a Rolls Royce and a 19th Century Louis-Philippe commode — from a defense contractor, wore a wire at some point during the short interval between the moment he began cooperating with the feds and the announcement of his guilty plea on Nov. 28.

The identity of those with whom the San Diego congressman met while wearing the wire remains unclear, and is the source of furious — and nervous — speculation by congressional Republicans. A Cunningham lawyer, K. Lee Blalack, refused to confirm or deny the story, and wouldn't say whether Cunningham will implicate any other members of Congress. The FBI is believed to be continuing its probe of defense contractors involved in the Cunningham case. An FBI spokesman declined comment. Asked whether Cunningham, an ace Navy fighter pilot decorated for his service in Vietnam, had worn a wire, the spokesman said the response from a higher-up was, "Like I'd tell you."

I got a call this morning telling me Newt got on TV and said something about Delay being a dead body that stunk and needed to be gotten rid of. Have not seen that footage myself.

I have to wonder how many more CEO types are going to get caught up in this.

It's being reported now that Republican Senator Randall (Duke) Cunningham did a little undercover work for the Justice Department in order to plea bargain. They are saying he was wearing recording devices.

It's going to be hard to deny, when it's on tape.

(Don't worry, this eavesdropping was legal, a court order was obtained)

It's being reported that Republican Congressional aides are buying Pepto-Bismol by the gallon and "Depends" adult leakproof (

) underwear by the case for their bosses in D.C. now.

Maybe we need to start a "Culture of Corruption" thread as a catch-all thread for all these investigations going on now instead of spreading them all over the board?????

Can we get a STICKEY...????

At least REpublicans are staying in DC. I saw 15 Democrats running for the hills just yesterday.

This democratic culture of lies must stop.

The Abramoff "Culture of Corruption" has claimed it's first victim.

The Hammer awaits his fate.

The rest are lined up like dominoes waiting to fall.
