Defending New Jersey’s Politicians

The White House clearly could not permit a prominent Democratic senator to tell the Israelis and the world what a bunch of jackasses they were.

I’d be surprised to learn that anyone in the Obama and Holder Department of Justice even knows how to spell “justice.”

On the same day it announced an indictment of New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez (D) for allegedly taking bribes and engaging in various forms of corruption, it also announced that it would not pursue a criminal contempt of Congress resolution against Lois Lerner, the member of the Internal Revenue Service at the center of the effort to deny conservative groups the right to be certified for non-profit tax status.

Without such status, the group’s ability to raise funds and pursue their issues and agenda was significantly impacted. If you were a liberal group, however, you sailed right through. That’s that way the Obama administration has functioned in all aspects of governance since it began in 2009.

Jeff Smith and Brian Murphy would have you believe that New Jersey is a steaming heap of political corruption that has no equal.

As a lifelong New Jersey resident, I can tell you that New Jersey IS a steaming heap of political corruption. That being said, the indictment of Menendez, particularly when it came, is clearly a message from Obama to the rest of the democraps.

But let's not forget that Menendez was previously involved in a scandal involving underage prostitutes in the Dominican Republic...

And there's old Bob (Torch) Torricelli...
