This is currently the ONLY article which on Yahoo/Reuters Political page which does not either promote the Democrats or criticize Bush.

I've seldom seen a more slanted "news" page. If you have the time, follow the link and vote for this article.

It's breaking in the Indian press, too. I'll post it.

This is the story I heard about on a conservative talk show this morning in Austin TX. Wonder why none of the OTHER new shows didn't have this? Paging the perky b!+c#!!!

Title: John Kerry linked to Indian-American scamster

Washington: US presidential candidate John Kerry is in the eye of a storm after revelations that he tried to help a defence contractor of Indian origin, who pleaded guilty last week to making illegal campaign contributions to the senator and four others.

The Los Angeles Times reported that Kerry sent 28 letters between 1996 and 1998, urging Congress and the Pentagon to free up federal funds for a missile system that contractor Parthasarathi Majumder was trying to build for US warplanes.

The letters were sent at a time when Majumder and employees at his Science and Applied Technology Inc. were donating money to the Massachusetts Democrat, the article said, citing court records.

Majumder, the former president and chief executive of Science and Applied Technology Inc, made the contributions to Kerry between 1993 to 1998 and also encouraged his friends and colleagues to do so, according to the US Attorney General's Office. Majumder then reimbursed those donors more than $20,000, according to the plea agreement. US election laws limit individual contributions to $1,000 to a candidate seeking federal office per campaign period. The law also prohibits corporations from giving money to candidates or using others to donate by proxy. Majumder, a US citizen born in India, faces a maximum penalty of five years and $250,000 in fines on charges of defrauding the government and one year and $25,000 in fines for making illegal campaign contributions. --Agencies (END OF ARTICLE)

"constituent businesses"

Political Geography 101: California has it's own two senators. It does not have to borrow them from Massachusets.

Alexandra in Kenya -- and her mom and dad -- say this story isn't true. And, by gum, that's good enough for me!

Just a little more "Kerry" picking. This guys baggage consists of grenades with pulled pins.

Hey, how much does a Kerry reference letter cost? It might be a very cost effective technique. Oh, sure, the price will go up if he is nominated, but it might be worth it. And, I guess, if you want him to write things that aren't exactly true ("Mr. Clinton did not have sex with that woman..."), that probably is extra.

This is a wonderful article because it clearly established that Hanoi John is for sale. I wonder what he does for the money he gets from the unions?

I think he's runnin' low on this stuff and something's gonna finally stick.

BUMP!

"Parthasarathi Majumber"

Is that a name, or an attempt to use all the letters of the alphabet?

Laws and morality don't apply to Kerry
