We would say “Would the last honest Democrat please turn out the lights,” but we fear the eternally-burning bulbs would impact global warming.

Ron Kirk, the president’s nominee for U.S. trade representative, has agreed to pay $10,000 in back taxes. Kirk played a little fast and loose with past speaking fees, took an improper deduction for the cost of his Dallas Mavericks season tickets, and claimed exorbitant charitable deductions.

Adolfo Carrion, the president’s nominee for ‘Urban Czar’ is also in hot water. He’s accused of receiving kickbacks from developers whose projects he approved while serving as Bronx Borough President.

An Obama administration official has assured concerned lawmakers that all the issues are minor and will soon be covered cleared up.

Someone made a very valid point yesterday.]]

All this Czar busniness is to get his own cronis in with senat confirmation hearing.

People aer so undeduated about the governments and/or how it works and that there are checks and balance for this type of behaver

[FlashBack]

It’s their standard operating procedures, they see nothing wrong with it!!

“And don’t forget tolerant.”

Yes, they tolerate anyone who supports them with money and votes. Very magnanimous.

[nuconvert]

And they tried to accuse the McCain people of not vetting Palin well enough.
LoL

[cripplecreek]

People aer so uneducated about the governments and/or how it works and that there are checks and balance for this type of behavior

No kidding. The comments of Mel Martinez that suggests that the constitution is overridden by the will of the voters shows just how uneducated Americans really are. (Including senators)

An established axiom is the Democrats will do the opposite of what they promise and its corollary is they are guilty of that which they accuse others.
