In Chicago?
This could get VERY interesting.
So when the FBI and Secret Service produce tangible evidence, what will the ball-less, compassionate conservatives in the Bush Administration do with it?
Son’s computer at bottom of their family backyard pool?
Not a damn thing.
Sentencing should be either the death penalty or 5 years without the internet./sarc. But I hope the feds get him good to set an example that this will NOT be tolerated.
But, can you IMAGINE if one of ours did this to Obambi? It would be worth it just to watch Olbermanniac sputter and drool...
“The Associated Press is still not cooperating with the feds. But it has published a new story about Ramuglia’s cooperation — and has recycled the story behind the hacking as an “original” report.”

His father has links to the Obama campaign.
I want to know whether the Obama Campaign has any fingerprints on this.
That’s way tacky. You should hit the abuse button on yourself and get it self-deleted before someone else does it.
He seems eager to let everyone know about this. I guess it's a badge of honor for him and figures it'll help him in his reelection.
(I just did. Guess the Mod doesn’t mind it)
And how active is he on the MoveOn, Kos, and DU sites? Inquiring minds want to know.
what has happened to FR?....
The son of the head of Obama’s campaign in Tennessee, if I’m not mistaken.
Very interesting.
You need to slap your own hand!!! Shame on you.

“Refused to discuss his son’s whereabouts” other than to say it is somewhere up sh&t creek
His Father I believe is a State Chairman for “Tennessee for Obama”.
McCain needs to get off his ass and make this a Dan Rather Scandal pronto.
