McGreevey's corruption scandals has been indicted with Puerto Rico governor Anibal Acevedo Vila....13 people are named in a federal indictmentas part of an alleged conspiracy to raise campaign cash illegally......

Our nation in the hands of a identity obsessed nitwits like Menendez is alarming. Slimeballs like Menendez are turning democracy into a Third World. Menendez is sucking up to Third World pols to feather his nest, and getting hyphenates to violate our borders AND fraudulently registering them to advance his political ambitions.
BTT!
Hmmmm....and what exactly was Alberto Gonzales raked over the coals for, and forced to resign? Firing U.S. attorneys? Blocking their nomination for political reasons is just as bad. Menendez: Resign NOW!
Corruption in Puerto Rico is in the water, and the mofongo, and the cuchifrito... ;-)
Yeah-—notice how the arrogant little turd won’t even answer questions. He’ll get out after eating a putrid taco and getting a bad case of Montezuma’s Revenge.....maybe.
