Sinking Sleaze-Bob Menendez
Townhall.com ^ | October 17, 2018 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 10/17/2018 11:26:22 AM PDT by Kaslin

The metaphors don't get any better (or worse) than this:

A van carrying Hillary Clinton, fresh from throwing her #MeToo sisters under the bus this weekend, crashed into a parking garage pillar on the way to a New Jersey campaign fundraiser Tuesday for beleaguered Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez. At her side was Huma Abedin, who is divorcing convicted serial sexter and underage girl stalker ex-Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner.

Thankfully, no one was hurt in the accident. But politically, damaged goods plus damaged goods equals an epic car wreck.

Tone-deaf Clinton had just earned recriminations from the left's resistance wing for defending her horndog hubby on "CBS Sunday," where she flatly denied that the 49-year-old commander in chief's Oval Office sexcapades with 22-year-old intern Monica Lewinsky were an "abuse of power" because, well, "she was an adult."

This is the same fauxminist champion who sidled up to disgraced Hollyweirdo Harvey Weinstein despite warnings from entertainment industry insiders about his alleged sexual predation of young starlets that reportedly dated back to 2008.

Question: Who could have possibly thought it a good idea for Hillary and Huma to front a women-themed party for Sleaze-Bob Menendez?

Answer: only a conglomerate of liberal hacks and flacks with more blind spots than the Land of the Cyclops.

The powerful pol, running for a third term in the U.S. Senate, is up to his eyeballs in personal and professional skeeviness:

--Menendez flew the crony skies on multiple luxury flights to the Caribbean with wealthy donor pal Salomon Melgen on taxpayer dime and time.

--Sleaze-Bob in turn used his Senate influence to push a lucrative port security deal benefiting Melgen.

--Creepy doctor Melgen was convicted of bilking sick old people on 67 counts of massive Medicare fraud totaling $90 million.

--And in my favorite mendacious Menendez-engineered scheme, which I dubbed the 36DD visa program, Menendez and his staff pressured the State Department to expedite the foreign tourist and student visa approval processes for a bevy of buxom foreign beauties. As I previously reported, one of them, Brazilian actress and porn pinup star Juliana Lopes Leite (aka "Girlfriend 1"), had her F-1 student visa application moved to the top of the pile in 2008 after Menendez and his staff intervened as a favor to model-lovin' Melgen.

--Another 36DD visa beneficiary, Rosiell Polanco-Suera, testified that her rejected visa application (along with her sister's) received reconsideration and instant approval after Melgen promised to "fix it" by reaching out to Menendez.

And that's all on top of the sordid and unresolved mess involving Obama Justice Department court filings related to the "specific, corroborated allegations that defendants Menendez and Melgen had sex with underage prostitutes in the Dominican Republic." Melgen owned the Casa de Campo resort home where he and Menendez reportedly engaged in sexual romps with a bevy of Dominican escorts, including at least one minor girl.

The same Dems and femmes who demanded we "believe all women" during the Brett Kavanaugh witch hunt declined my invitation in 2013 to join my bipartisan Ladies Against Senator Sleaze-Bob group when reports of the underage prostitute parties broke.

I'm still waiting for a single female Democrat to step up to the plate. Tick. Tock.

Here's the good news: Despite the best efforts by Beltway Dems and their media allies to whitewash the aftermath of Menendez's federal corruption mistrial last fall, New Jersey voters smell a rat. The Garden State may be bluer than Papa Smurf, but Menendez's approval ratings are taking an island dive and recent polls showed him in a dead heat with GOP challenger Bob Hugin.

This week, Senate Majority PAC, the Senate Democrats' super PAC, announced it would be dumping $3 million to help Menendez in the state that Clinton won by a 14-point margin over Donald Trump. That's $3 million diverted from other competitive Senate races in battleground states, including North Dakota, Nevada, Indiana, Florida, Tennessee, Montana and Missouri.

So the Titanic attempt to save sinking Sleaze-Bob may end up torpedoing the Dems' chances of re-taking the Senate. No worries, though. I hear Hill and Bill will have plenty of room on their Corruptopalooza post-election speaking tour stage for the losers.

Priceless that Hillary Clinton is the one Democrats send to help Melendez. That should sink him!

After Hillary’s recent Scooby Van accident in the parking garage, I was waiting to see if she would be Dwarf Tossed OUT of her unmarked ambulance this time. Was it Trump or the Russians that placed that concrete pillar in the way of the van?

Sorry but it will be all but impossible to overcome the entrenched, systemic, well done voter fraud in urban Democratic controlled areas. Good luck to Hugin but he will need to tally at least 57% of the actual vote on election day to defeat the corrupt Menendez.

That follows your earlier indication that TX (and OH as well ???) have been abandoned by the democrat national socialist party. And the democrats have been pushing O'Rourke (TX, D) to send his surplus/useless/unneeded 38 million back to the national party for their other races.

The article has a good summary of Menendez 's criminal history - which, of course, Hillary's ABCNNBCBS national press corpse is ignoring.

How did Christie do it?

Seriously, he won by like three points against Corslime

And then 18 points against the NJEA Ditz

Menendez is in trouble, I don’t think they can cheat themselves out of this one. Hudson county can’t print up that many votes.

The sound of the Scooby Van crashing is pretty awesome - maybe the parking garage magnified it, but it was a pretty big ‘hit’. Snicker - I take that back ... I’ve gotten to the point where I laugh out loud every time I watch this.

Christie won because the sleeze ball Democrat Party boss in North Jersey, Lesniak, was feuding with Norcross, sleeze ball Democrat party boss of South Jersey.

Corzine was allied with Norcross, so Lesniak did not call out the customary goon, thugs and dead voters in North Jersey to help.

Corrupt Hillary is a lying sick old crook, who accepts bribes and betrays our country. Everything she says and does, or causes to be said or done, must be viewed with the utmost suspicion. Her promises are worthless, unless they enrich her in some way.

Her husband is a rapist and a pedophile whom she has actively enabled.

But most of all, she is emblematic of Democrats, who have become a mob of perverted hedonistic, hypocrites, who make a science of accusing others of the things they themselves are doing.

The best news out of all of this is that they’re spending money on the race. They don’t have a lot of money to spend, or heroes to use off the bench to boost their candidates.

It puts the lie to the propaganda of a blue wave. The blue wave thing was largely predicated on the tendency that the party in power tends to lose midterm seats. The theory was that people didn’t like Trump, would finally have the opportunity to register that, and the tendency would be more pronounced.

There is evidence out there to indicate this general trend may not hold in the House, and likely will NOT be there for the Senate. We could gain as much as 7 in the Senate.

“I love Malkin....”


Same. I read paragraphs after paragraphs with delight, thinking, this punchy and colorful style, this pertinent and documented wordsmithing, all remind me of Coulter or Malkin.
Then I check the author name, bingo.

there was also a rumor that the Democrat bosses hated Corzine’s monetization program of the Turnpike, which would sell the Turnpike to Goldman Sachs, they would fire all the union workers, replace them with minimum wage workers and 10x the tolls over 15 years. The bosses hated losing the union money and lost of construction and repair contracts so they backed Christie.
