Top Democratic Fund-Raiser Charged With Prostitution

[DivinBreuvage]

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Real estate developer and political fund-raiser Charles Kushner of Livingston, New Jersey, was charged by federal prosecutors Tuesday with conspiracy, obstruction of justice and interstate promotion of prostitution....

In February 2003, Christie's office began investigating Kushner for alleged violation of federal tax and fraud statutes and for purported violation of federal campaign contribution laws....

Kushner contributed to the campaigns of several prominent Democrats, including Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York, Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts and Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, according to FEC records.

Naturally it's the top headline on Netscape News this morning, because he's a Democrat.

1. Dead Woman's Body Found in GOP Congressman Scarborough's Office.

No investigation will be launched. Coverup will be official story.

3. Reminds me of what I saw yesterday...

I was channel surfing and I don't know why, but I stopped at Faux (for about 3 minutes) to hear some guy say "Well, it looks like Martha is going to jail. As an ex-con it will be impossible for her to get her business empire back in order and find work won't it?" (paraphrasing)...

As I threw my shoe at the TV I yelled "How about that ex-con Oliver North who has his VERY OWN SHOW ON THIS VERY STUPID CHANNEL??

I really think the Pod People have taken over...

7. Crime is to Conservatives what Czarist imprisonment was to Bolsheviks

Proof of their commitment and a stepping-stone to promotion!

17. Not the Pod People, just the Spiritual descendants of the Nazis

They are "kinder and genlter", though.

2. Well there IS some relationship between the two oldest professions.

lol.


But if we're just comparing fundraisers? I think we would win on balance.

4. Well, I personally find this story being the top headline . . .

outrageous considering the media is so "liberal" and hate Bush and the Republicans. Puhlease!

Did anyone see Ken Lay walk the perp walk? I didn't see it on the news. I just saw him leaving after his arrest.

5. Netscape News Does Seem To Be Repuke Supportive

They still like to come up with "news" stories on Monica..

heh..

[DivinBreuvage]

6. LOL... I think they had one yesterday, though I didn't read it

"YOu won't believe WHAT Monica is saying now!" was the headline, IIRC

[bushisanidiot]

8. Yep, it's the "Foxification" of the news..

They may as well be the National Enquirer.

I wonder if Rupert Murdoch has his fat little fingers in Netscape..

[w4rma]

10. Probably an AP feed. Netscape just buys the feed and the articles are auto

automatically posted to the website. No control from Netscape really. It's all the folks at the Associated Press corporation.

[leQ]

12. yep, given the choice of wires, reuters is my choice

n/t

[bushisanidiot]

15. Sorry, But I don't think AP titles their articles "You won't BELIEVE what

Chelsea has done NOW!"

like I said.. Netscape "News" has been Foxified.

9. What about Bush's brother and the prostitutes in Thailand

Oh, that's right. He didn't have to pay. Lucky ducky.

[amber dog democrat]

11. Thats right - nothing to see here folks, move on, move on

women come to my hotel rooms un invited unexpected, and un assuming

all the time.

He must have had the charisma of Elvis or something.

[Sabriel]

13. That doesn't seem very cost effective to me...

Ooops, sorry. I only read the headline. I mean, how many BJs does it take to get a decent contribution?

[slappypan]

14. Democrats! sex! Democrats! sex! Democrats! sex!

Democrats! sex! Democrats! sex! Democrats! sex! Democrats! sex! Democrats! sex! Democrats! sex! intern! Clinton! Democrats! sex! Democrats! sex! Democrats! sex! gays! Democrats! sex!

:nuke:

16. I quit AOL and NS.

I got annoyed by their Right Wing leaning headlines. I switched to http://www.peoplepc.com. ;)
