Bumpbackatcha!
Zing!
Heads up!
Incoming!
What a coincidence! I heard McGreevey lives on Hershey Highway.
Heads up!
Zing!
When McGreedy leaves office, the Rats are giving him a solid gold buttplug.
Memo to John Ashcroft - please put this slime in cuffs,
even if he likes it.
Great quote & most appropo' of Nic to use it.
I've thought the same thing to myself after Clintigula was re-elected & again when the Y2k election turned out [allegedly] to be so close.
"In McGreevey's resignation speech, he said, 'My truth is that I am a gay American. Shamefully, I engaged in adult consensual affairs with another man, which violates my bonds of matrimony. It was wrong, it was foolish, it was inexcusable.'"
A shameless page directly outa the Bent One's playbook.
How very Clintonesque, no?
Now the record:
Charles Kushner, McGreevey's biggest campaign contributor, 'pleaded guilty [two weeks ago] to 18 federal crimes'...
William Watley On July 14, McGreevey's commerce secretary, resigned 'amid reports that he channeled state money to his own businesses and to family members.'
David D'Amiano On July 6, fundraiser David D'Amiano 'was indicted ... on [11] extortion charges...before one of Halper's many meetings with the Governor, he was taped telling D'Amiano that Gov. McGreevey was to use the code word 'Machiavellian,' to signal that the deal was on. Sure enough, McGreevey (aka 'State Official 1') said 'Machiavelli,' which he later insisted was merely an allusion from his rich literary life. ( :o) )
The Attorney General's Office {!!} [has] been run by handpicked McGreevey men, who have conducted themselves more like Mafia consigliere than the leaders of state law enforcement.
Peter Harvey According to Gannett columnist Bob Ingle, AG Peter Harvey 'couldn't find political corruption with a detailed road map.' The March 15 column of Ingle, Gannett’s Trenton Bureau chief, was entitled, "McGreevey administration heading for scandal record." And that was several indictments and resignations ago....[the damning get even *better*]
Joseph Santiago -In a failed experiment in affirmative action, in 2002, McGreevey appointed Hispanic Newark police Director Joseph Santiago superintendent of the State Police, over the protests of law enforcement officials, and in spite of a multitude of red flags (a personal bankruptcy, a conviction for disorderly conduct, and charges by the State Police background investigation that in Newark Santiago had consorted with an associate of the Genovese crime family, protected illegal gambling operations, was involved in a 'no-show security scheme' and used police officers to build his house) in Santiago's past, only to force Santiago to resign on October 18, 2002, after only seven months on the job. (~& the list goes on and on.)
Golan Cipel in January, 2002, Gov.-elect McGreevey provided his alleged boyfriend, Golan Cipel, who had initially been sponsored by Charles Kushner, a $110,000-per-year job as state homeland security chief. (I'll *bet* :o) )...Using the terrorism attacks of Sept. 11 to justify the hiring, the governor's chief lawyer [Paul Levinsohn] wrote a letter to the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service on McGreevey's inauguration day, telling the federal agency that New Jersey wanted Cipel to coordinate increased security with all branches of government and that Cipel had the necessary 'substantial experience' in public security.'...And Cipel had no security background, to begin with. (& there's much, much more surronding the Cipel character but due to the limitations of space & time...)
Billboardgate -In 2003, McGreevey chief of staff Gary Taffet and chief counsel Paul Levinsohn were charged with having used their positions with Gov.-elect McGreevey to make highway billboard ad deals during the 2001 gubernatorial campaign for their secret billboard company, and having profited to the tune of $2.2 million on the eve of the governor's 2002 inauguration. Many of the deals were with large McGreevey campaign contributors, including -- surprise, surprise! -- Charles Kushner. Taffet and Levinsohn were both forced to resign. (& this goes on & on, as well)
Roger Chugh -During McGreevey's 2001 campaign, Asian Indian businessmen in Middlesex County have charged, his [read: McGreevey] fundraiser Rajesh 'Roger' Chugh (who later worked in the secretary of state's office) engaged in illegal fundraising tactics, including 'pressur[ing] them for contributions in the years leading up to the 2001 gubernatorial election, using grandiose promises of gubernatorial appointments, easy negotiation of Woodbridge [whose mayor McGreevey was, while simultaneously serving as a state senator, before being elected governor] oversight boards or threats of retribution.' (WTF, *ordinary* bribery? Hardly seems to merit mention in light of the other stuff, does it...)
Choppers McGreevey turned state police helicopters into his personal limousine service, using them for 272 trips, including fourteen for personal business.
Money ( >?< ~no kiddin'. *Money*? {g}) McGreevey raised taxes, (on the MORONS who voted for him, no-less) spending, and state debt, and caused the state's bond rating to be downgraded.
Oh for chrissakes I can't continue.
Heart palpatations, y'know?
Suffice to say if McGreevey intends having a conventional burial, they'll have to strap 'em to an industrail auger & screw 'em into the ground.
Only thing I'm wondering is just *where* that crooked Senator who resigned, went to the slammer, and tried to run a campaign for re-election from the Big House fits-in to all this slime.
Because y'know he figures into this crap, somehow & someway; but, he sure did -- & remains -- keep his mouth [tightly] shut about all this malarkey, didn't he.
Mark?
You needn't remind me to drive around New Jersey if ever I'm out that way, OK? {g}
Just a(nother) fabulous piece by the "master", Nic Stix.
Really glad to see Nic's still whacking the filthy corrupt 'Rats around with his mighty pen, too.
Do tell Nic I said "Hi" -- if you happen to see 'em -- that this one was a supurb job of "investigative journalism" if ever there was.
A very nice job, indeed.
See joanie?
Aren'tcha glad to be outa that bunghole of a place; which, only just goes to show, kid.
...it can -- & often does -- get worse. ;^)
ROTFL!
A very nice job, indeed.
Will do, Dan. Where you been? Vacation?
Nice.
BTW, you've got FReepmail.
Kind of, a self imposed vacation wouldn't be inaccurate.
Just got to the point I was taking myself wayyyy too seriously, that coupled with my natural passion was quickly getting me into a space I knew wasn't where I wanted to be.
If that makes any sense?
Went seeking a little *perspective*; and, although I never did find any?
I *am* rested.
With the election drawing near, this isn't the time to be looking for some kind of imaginary Eldorado, is it?
There's only one thing on my mind, now.
...to *rumble*! ;^)
I never left, but I did go through periods of fatigue, myself. But as you say, there's no time to be weary, now.
Thanks for the ping!
As we say in New Jersey - Democraps and Corruption - Perfect Together!
My pleasure.
So, why does a state predominantly comprised of homeowners keep voting Democrat?
