Public land deals... the other pork.

NYT: Fishwrap for FReepers until something is printed that fits their prejudices. Then it’s the paper of record. Funny, if not sad.

Gee, a western USA politician involved in real estate deal?

Pelosi, Reid, now McCain.

Shocked, I tell you!

Another example of Milton Friedman’s plea to shrink the power of government.

Yes, it seems that old insane and Harry "his good friend" Reed are blood brother in stealing tax payers real property.

Oh come on Slimes, you can do better than this weak crap.

Mr. Diamond is close to most of Arizona’s Congressional delegation and is candid about his expectations as a fund-raiser. “I want my money back, for Christ’s sake. Do you know how many cocktail parties I have to go to?”

Wasn't that almost the same statement that the rich man in Texas told the bitch Kay Baily Hutchison about the border fence. I expect a return on my investment now you get your ass to Washington and kill the damn thing. Yes almost the same words.

I feel certain we’re going to see a lot of this between now and Nov. “Honest” John is a lot more careful than he is honest since that Keating business caught up with him.

I have friends in Tucson, a couple that had worked for months through the system to get a passport for the husband. He is a Vet but they could not produce a birth certificate that would satisfy the bureaucrats they were working with. They has spent a couple hundered dollars,plus time chasing around trying to find information that would please the crats.

Finally, they went to McCains office in Tucson, explained their dilemma and within two weeks the man had his passport.

McCain does help his constituents and not just the big donors. If McCain did a wrong with this land deal then that should be vetted.

As much as I don’t trust McLame, all the CA base closures were done by Boxer/Fineswine.

Happens every day...Developers "watch"...then act...then make money. It's what they do for a living. Some folks just sit on the courtroom step waiting for the word "sold to".

If I had bucks...I'd do it, too.

We don’t say pork anymore. We say earmarks. It sound much nicer.

“I think that is what Congress people are supposed to do for constituents,” he said. “When you have a big, significant businessman like myself, why wouldn’t you want to help move things along? What else would they do? They waste so much time with legislation.”

I agree with him on the wasting time with legislation part. McCain is one of THE worst offenders.

If this is the best the NY Slimes can do Omama is toast.
