Dems Usher in New Era of Dull Scandals
Dems Usher in New Era of Dull Scandals | NBC New York
A recent flood of news about Democrats doing improper, non-sexual stuff for favors means they've got the political side of scandals covered, too. Let's review:
* Senate seat salesman Rod Blagojevich
* Congressman Charlie Rangel, whom the New York Times is constantly catching in the middle of one seedy-looking situation or another
* Secretary-of-State nominee Hillary Clinton, who passed legislation to help a developer shortly before her husband accepted that developer's $100,000 donation to his presidential library
And the latest: the portly and affable Bill Richardson, who couldn't be Secretary of State because he would have been murdered, personally, by the Clintons, so instead he settled for Commerce Secretary before he got roped into a grand jury investigation. Apparently some brilliant financial company that advised Jefferson County, Alabama into near-bankruptcy was also hired to work its magic on the state of New Mexico after it donated 100 grand to various political action committees formed by Bill Richardson.
And it ain't even jan 20th yet..... I mean really, is this politics as usual or the hope and change promised?
Do you think Obama is doing the best with what is available, or is he screwing the pooch early here due to inexperience? only time will tell.....
