Right now, the so-called mainstream media loves Drudge... and, we have yet to find our left of center equivalent.

6. Yadda, Yadda, Yadda
This administration is guilty of so many ethical lapses and illegalities. But, nothing ever comes of it. There won't be a truly independent investigation or prosecutor.

And then they'll distract us with some new terror alert or other BS.

I am a little cynical about there being true justice.

12. Wondering if the Teflon Don John Gotti gave out pointers to anyone in the
administration, just seems to be the way nothing ever sticks to them with as much shit as everyone in the world knows they do.

18. Imprisonment? Best we will get is a "farewell wave" before returning to
Crawford.

At which point they'll liquidate that lovely movie set and head back to Connecticut.

20. The Story is up now --- Rawstory link below:

Bush Florida 2000 recount committee still owes lobbyist's former firm $314k


White House directs queries to RNC


By John Byrne | RAW STORY Editor
They say a picture is worth a thousand words.


If so, the photograph taken of President George W. Bush and embattled House Majority Leader Tom DeLay was priceless—the windswept DeLay strutting down the tarmac beside the president, two Republican leaders rankled by political setbacks joined at the hip.


There’s a backstory that lurks behind Bush’s decision to stand by DeLay. It involves Greenberg Traurig, the firm that employed the powerful lobbyist who paid for palatial DeLay junkets, and Abramoff staffers, who were footsoldiers in the Florida recount. Greenberg Traurig has yet to receive more than $314,000 in legal fees charged to a Bush committee during the 2000 Florida recount, RAW STORY can confirm.

22. Absolutely....
...If lying to the World, invading an innocent country, murdering over 100,000 innocent civilians, spawning insurrections in Venezuela, stealing elections here, running up record deficits, ruining the economy, and on and on, hasn't caused a "scandal" yet, then I seriously doubt fund-raising irregularities are going to bring down the Bush Empire.

He'd have to be caught screwing a dead boy in the Oval office, live on national television, before anyone would even bother to turn off American Idol, and - maybe - pay attention.
