Wanna guess what party Larry Langford belongs to?

Posted by Moonage on 01 Dec 2008 | Tagged as: Ethics, media bias

WSFA is reporting that Birmgingham, Alabama mayor Larry Langford has been arrested by the FBI on some pretty serious charges.  At this point CNN nor MSNBC feel it’s a story worth printing.
If you read the local story, it’s pretty lengthy.  It gets into what the background of the investigation is, who’s involved, and some of [...]

Nancy Pelosi’s Culture of Corruption - Dianne Wilkerson

Posted by Moonage on 29 Oct 2008 | Tagged as: Ethics

This one is precious.  First, we start with the evidence:
When it gets real fun is when you read her rap sheet.  She’s already in trouble for lying under oath to protect her nephew on manslaughter charges, tax evasion in the 90’s, and not reporting donations.  Apparently the people of her district tired of her shenanigans [...]

When Republicans go bad

Posted by Moonage on 21 Oct 2008 | Tagged as: 2006 US Senate Races, 2008 Congressional Races, 2008 Presidential Race, Ethics

Everyone remembers Mark Foley.  Mass media went nuts over his “issues” in 2006.  Some even say Foley single handedly cost Republicans the House.  So, what does the 21st century’s most “disgraced” Congressman do?  He endorses Obama.  Most political pundits are completely ignoring this endorsement.  The Obama campaign hasn’t released any statements on Foley either that [...]

Pelosi’s Culture of Corruption - Tim Mahoney

Posted by Moonage on 14 Oct 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Congressional Races, Ethics

Several years ago, Mark Foley was pretty well busted doing things that just weren’t terribly ethical.  Nancy Pelosi and a lot of Democrat bloggers went flying off the deep end.  Pelosi went so far as to demand an inquiry into how many Republicans new about Foley’s activities and did nothing about it.  Of course, no [...]

The best thing from Debbie Stabenow so far

Posted by Moonage on 02 Apr 2008 | Tagged as: Ethics

I have picked on Debbie Stabenow quite a bit here.  I think she’s an idiot.  So far, just here, I have picked on her for:

Running for reform but voting against eliminating earmarks. ( That’s called hypocrisy, or lying )
For sticking pullout requirements into a funding bill, having it vetoed, and not being able to do [...]

Nancy Pelosi’s culture of corruption - Eliot Spitzer

Posted by Moonage on 10 Mar 2008 | Tagged as: Ethics

A rising star of the Democrat Party, Eliot Spitzer gained fame prosecuting corporations among other things as Attorney General. Now he’s in deep doo-doo.  I’m still waiting for Nancy Pelosi to cite him as yet another example of the Democrat Culture of Corruption.
Quickie update:  Everyone with a keyboard has had something to say about Spitzer.  Well, [...]

When pork is just pork

Posted by Moonage on 28 Aug 2007 | Tagged as: Ethics

I’m not really a member of the porkbusters’ club.  I don’t agree with a lot of what some people define as pork.  Using a very narrowly defined criteria that automatically defines something as waste doesn’t work.  I’ve pointed that out here several times.  However, every now and then, some things just scream pork.  Take this [...]

$20 billion here, $20 billion there…….

Posted by Moonage on 03 Aug 2007 | Tagged as: The Media

Nancy Pelosi had this to say about the $22 billion difference between Congress and the White House budgets:
…..Democrats want to work with the president “to negotiate the very small difference between Democrats and Republicans on these appropriations bills.“
I’m still waiting for CBS and the rest to lambast her for her obvious fiscal irresponsibility. [...]

The contempt of the Out of Iraq Judiciary Committee

Posted by Moonage on 25 Jul 2007 | Tagged as: Ethics

In the news today is how the House Judiciary Committee issued contempt charges for Josh Bolten and Harriet Miers. Two former advisers to President Bush. I don’t really like “committee” actions. I like to know WHO that committee is. WHO it is doing it. Well, here’s the Democrat members of [...]

Nancy Pelosi’s culture of corruption: Nancy Pelosi

Posted by Moonage on 16 May 2007 | Tagged as: Ethics

Nancy Pelosi condemned the Republicans as a culture of corruption in her efforts to take over Congress. And, people bought it apparently. Since then we’ve had Barbara Boxer very quietly slip out of the spotlight after giving her husband billions of taxpayer money. We had William Jefferson, under investigation for taking bribes put [...]
