The Axis of Evil is right here in the US. DeLay, Abramoff, Safavian and Rove.

I seriously can't decide whether to go the "Teddy Kennedy" route, or the "I thought people were innocent until proven guilty, you fucking fascist" route.

I can't decide whether to go the "What is the relevance of Ted Kennedy" route or the "indictment does not mean guilty" route.

Cue Nelson's "HA HA!"

I can't decide what in the hell possessed me to actually click on a pryderi thread, for once. i guess had been so long that i'd forgotten.

If Rove is the evil, unstoppable mastermind that the Left makes him out to be, do you really think that the Abramoff case is going to touch him?

You are known by the company you keep...

indicted means convicted, right?

well throwing away basic rights such as "innocent until proven guilty" is absolutely essential when you're bashing the opposite political party.

Gamecat, my love, you have enough sense to know when I'm making general statements and when I'm responding to utterly retarded accusations from Pryderi.

Do you see me talking about good ol' Ted all the time? No. Only when someone says, "OMF A REPUBLICAN allegedly MURDERED SOMEONE YOUR PARTY SHOULD BE CALLED THE REPUBLIKILLERS!!1"

The second part was directed at what pryderi was quite obviously implying.

He's no more guilty than Bill Clinton was when he was impeached.

"The FBI and Capitol Police are investigating the vicious attack of a top Senate staffer at her home last week amid concerns that the assault might be related to her work on the Finance Committee. Emilia DiSanto, chief investigator for committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), arrived at her suburban Virginia home after work Wednesday about 6:30 p.m. As she was unloading belongings from her car, a 6-foot-1-inch white man dressed in black struck her repeatedly with an unidentified object believed to be a baseball bat. After she screamed to her family inside the house, the assailant fled. DiSanto was transported to Inova Fair Oaks Hospital, where she was treated for significant upper-body injuries. Nine staples were needed to close her head wound. DiSanto, who declined to comment, has reported back to work."

Quote :

"Sources say acts of violence in DiSanto’s neighborhood are rare. Grassley is known for his aggressive oversight of the public and private sector. Over the past year, he has scrutinized healthcare fraud, organ-donation procedures used by hospitals, drug-safety matters and the use of nonprofit groups related to former lobbyist Jack Abramoff. In her line of work, DiSanto “doesn’t make a lot of friends,” an aide said."

"The lobbyist Jack Abramoff asked for $9 million in 2003 from the president of a West African nation to arrange a meeting with President Bush and directed his fees to a Maryland company now under federal scrutiny, according to newly disclosed documents. The African leader, President Omar Bongo of Gabon, met with President Bush in the Oval Office on May 26, 2004, 10 months after Mr. Abramoff made the offer."
