i always wonder how they can think that they will get away with any of this. i don’t care what party they are from, they always think they can get away with it. makes a person who pays their taxes and follows the rules a bit pissy because they do end up getting a slap on the wrist usually.

This was front-page news in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette this morning. I was pleased to see that they mentioned party affiliation in the first paragraph. The PPG is usually pretty decent when it comes to neutral reporting, though.
Will be interesting to see if this swings control of the statehouse back to the Republicans. After the 2006 election the Dems ended up in control by some tiny margin (like 102-100 or something). On the one hand this should hurt them in the upcoming elections, but on the other all Republicans are facing a headwind this fall…

“Pelosi Says She Would Drain GOP ‘Swamp’”
Democrats have a pamphlet that lists all their promises and have run through several slogans in the past year or so as they test campaign messages. In recent days, Pelosi said, their prospects have improved by the discovery that former Republican Rep. Mark Foley of Florida had sent sexually explicit computer messages to teenage male pages.

Not long before sitting down for a lunchtime interview, she turned down a suggestion from Speaker Dennis Hastert that they jointly appoint former FBI Director Louie Freeh to recommend improvements in the page program.

“That was about protecting their majority” rather than the pages, she said dismissively.

Instead, she wants to put Hastert and other Republicans under oath and make them say what they knew of Foley’s actions, when they learned it and what they did to stop him.

hmmmm, drain the swamp of corruption etc…oh how things have changed once oaths were taken.

Anyone got a link to that pamphlet? Might have some appropriate draining-of-the-swamp promises in it.
