Say, Today, What Party Do the Conyers Belong To?

Add Monica Conyers's name to that list of Dems run afoul of the law whose party affiliation the MSM fails to mention. The Detroit City Council President Pro Tem, a Democrat and an Obama supporter, has made unwelcome headlines before, from getting into an argument with an eight-grader to allegedly threatening to shoot an aide to the Detroit mayor. Now things have taken a turn for the worse. According to the Detroit News in an article today entitled Bribe probe ensnarls Conyers:

"Federal investigators have electronic surveillance evidence that allegedly links Detroit City Council President Pro Tem Monica Conyers with receiving a payment or payments in connection with a city-approved sludge contract."

Ruh-roh. Conyers is the wife of John Conyers, the Dem Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee who continues to toy with the notion of seeking to impeach President Bush. So how did this morning's Today show report the story?

I’m surprised they even mentioned John Conyers.

I'm surprised that the didn't figure out a way to work in a mention of Bush and McCain.

The only saving grace about ardent socialists is that left to their own demise sooner or sooner they always self destruct.

Could the Bush-Cheney collusion with Big Oil, which has driven up gas prices, have forced poor Ms. Conyers to accept the bribes in order to be able to drive needy children to the hospital perhaps? ;-)

Nice catch, Mark. Propagandists doing what they do and ‘rat crime syndicate members are grateful.

Trick question.

Well, being from the Detroit area, I’m torn. ( Read this the other day and didn’t notice)

The Detroit News is the “Right Wing” local paper, and should have said she was a Rat.

On the other hand, it would be a waste of ink, to tell the readers, what they already knew.
