Lounge of Tomorrow - The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

There is zero need to be so damn snarky. I am not on some massive quest here- I just posted a couple things as I found them.

The side comment was just that- an aside....nothing more.

FYI-This is not a battle I have with anyone here. I am frankly finding politics and pols in general to be repellant these days. Not the norm for me- I usually enjoy this stuff.

Bleaugh-sorry I snapped at ya MBC.

If you want to convince us, you need to do better than the American Thinker...

Found this to be interesting. Of course, it was released on late Friday afternoon, when hopefully the least amount of people would be paying attention.

Quote:

A top aide to White House strategist Karl Rove resigned yesterday after disclosures that she accepted gifts from and passed information to now-convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff, becoming the first official in the West Wing to lose a job in the influence-peddling scandal.

-snip-

As a former Abramoff assistant, Ralston played intermediary between the lobbyist and Rove. The congressional report found 66 Abramoff contacts with the White House, more than half of them with Ralston. In addition, Abramoff's lobbying colleagues contacted Ralston 69 times.

Yeah, I saw that too. It'll be interesting to see how the 'Six Degrees of Clinton/Democrat' blame game gets applied to this one.

They'll find a way... Afterall, Republicans are never responsible for their own mistakes!

A trait not unique to republicans, I might add. There has been the cry of "the vast right wing conspiracy" for some time now.

The results of which we have been living with these past six years.

So, WB, you accept the cries of the vast right wing conspiracy creating problems for the dems, but deny that the left would have done anything such as sit on the Foley story to use it at a more politically opportune time (understanding that as a whole I do not object to that in the world of politics, but some things should be above politics).
