could this whole Tom DeLay thing have been a just a big Preemptive Strike because she/the DNC et.al. knew this was coming and wanted to muddy the waters with a Prevent Defense move???

LOS ANGELES—A lavish politics-goes-Hollywood fundraiser that helped propel Hillary Clinton into the U.S. Senate is the main event at the pending federal trial of the New York Democrat’s former campaign finance director.
...
It’s rare for alleged federal campaign finance violations to go to trial. But that is what’s scheduled to happen Tuesday in federal court here, with witnesses including Sen. Edward Kennedy’s brother-in-law, who wore a wire for the government.
Based on that conversation and allegedly false federal filings, prosecutors charged finance director David Rosen with deliberately lowballing the cost of the August 2000 gala. An FBI agent has speculated that Rosen was trying to duck federal financing rules so the campaign would have more money to spend on the race. ... The prosecution by the Justice Department’s public integrity section is unusual: most federal election cases are handled administratively with fines, not criminal charges.

Can't have that now, can we?
What's the temperature in hell?
"arcane" = "too hard for you to owrry oyur pretty little head about dear reader. God back to watching American Idol and ignore this complicated story."
It is rather curious. The story is slanted, of course, kind of a mountain-over-a-molehill attitude, but still, interesting for the details, like $25,000 a couple dinners attended by 350 couples.
Anything to do with a "tongue"? ;-)
Holy crap. Let's call a spade a spade. It was the freakin' Chinese and everyone knows it. The media is still trying to protect this guy and AP is up to it's usual tricks.
Yeah. And it was only allegations, of course. Keep moving. Move on.

Anyone noticed that a number of news reports have used the word "duck" to describe what he did?
I mean, "duck" wouldn't be anything like, say, "evade" or "willingly break the law," now would it?
I think we need a picture of a duck. Liberals have found their meme and they're sticking to it.
Now there's an interesting theory. It seems like they've done just this before, though I'm not coming up with examples.
The real DU
But, of course, now we get to hear about the right wing cabal out to get poor little Hillary. Oh. And we also get to hear how Rosen just wanted to "duck" a few minor things involving millions.
The usual..
| I'm still looking for the word "felony" in this wonderful piece.

Didn't you read it? It walks like a felony, and it quacks like a felony, but according to the AP, it's a duck.
