Dems Usher in New Era of Dull Scandals

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.....

Surprise, surprise. You didn't think they would somehow be different than Republicans, did you?

I had hoped for the change that was promised.

Is this a serious question or just partisan ranting?

Are you suggesting that people should not be investigated?

While I know you're being factious, I think anyone who thought Obama was actually going to bring "hope" and "change" is fooling themselves. He's standard politician and that's it; Chicago at that. There will be no hope or change with Obama, there will merely be a continuation of the standard government tyranny.

Thank you. The guy hasn't even taken office yet, and these people (Ikari and Reverend) are alleging that no change will occur in the next 4 years. Nice.

Is this trolling or is it just whining?




Do you have any issues with the sheer amount of scandals that already surround the obama picks?

Or are you cool with politics as usual?
