Got to the dictionary and look up "socialist crook politician" and you see that picture.

Sometimes, Wendi Thomas gets it, then she runs back to the kool-aid. For this one, she gets it. (evene if she is an occasional moonbat)

Anyone with half the brain God gave him would say to himself: Self, maybe now isn't the best time to be engaging in shenanigans, not when the feds are on a rampage, looking for crooked elected officials they might devour.

There is so much of this going on, that even a massive FBI sting is a drop in the bucket. They were just playing the odds...with a "it wasn't me, it was the man" defense in their hip pocket.

"In 1989, he was convicted of taking $1,000 for his council vote on a housing development, and then voters re-elected him to the council."

HA!!
Seems a lot of "On The Pipe" awards are in order.

...one for every voter.

I didn't know that hats were still in. Is that a pork pie hat on the gentleman in the background?

It seems that too many Tennessee politicians are addicted alright, addicted to all that ready cash they've been getting in bribes for a very long time. If the Feds don't stop them with some jail time, they just keep getting themselves elected as "darling public servants" and keeping all that ready cash rolling in. (Tennessee and probably quite a few other states as well; Louisiana comes to mind offhand.)

The paper had a qoute yesterday from a Rhodes prof...seems he seems racism in the 'targeting' of black pols. I'm sure the Feds shopped this around to whites as well it just that the blacks were the only ones to take the graft. 15 have been indicted so far in the two stings 13 are black, 2 white and only one a Republican, the rest demoRATS.

I'm all for learning from your mistakes, or the mistakes of others. Ford apparently gleaned nothing from his brothers John, Harold and Emmitt's legal woes, and Peete, well, I am thoroughly convinced that he's beyond redemption.

Notice how delicately she tiptoes around the tulips. She identifies this Ford as the brother of Harold Ford, Sr, but never manages either to identify the whole Ford family as DemonRats or to say that the newly indicted Ford is Harold Ford, Jr's uncle. It's quite a family where all four of the senior brothers have been indicted for one crime or another. Indeed, an uncharitable person might even say it's a political crime family.

A story about a republican would never fail to mention those connections.

That does seem pretty stupid, to do that and take bribes when so many other nearby politicians were getting nailed for the exact same thing.

More than likely they have been at this for years and just figured "In for a penny..."

Also, notice that the Feds held the indictment until after the election. Don't need anyone thinking that this was done to smear Jr. in his Senate quest.
