A conservative "blue dog" Democrat, Condit backed President Bush's $1.35 trillion tax cut this year, and has voted for prayer in public schools and relaxing environmental standards in years past.
He is close friends with former Republican presidential candidate and House Budget Chairman John Kasich of Ohio. The two have attended Rolling Stones and Pearl Jam concerts together.
Usually affable and open, Rep. Condit's lips now sealed
....rising Republican leader John Kasich declared on national television that “Gary Condit’s one of my best friends in Congress, and he’s one of the most conservative Democrats, and he’s always helping us to cut taxes and to cut spending.”
G.O.P.’s Affair With Condit Is Over
Rep. Gary Condit (D-Calif.) had to cancel a fundraiser to be hosted by House Budget Chairman John Kasich (R-Ohio). Kasich said the leader of the Blue Dogs had helped him with the balanced budget and deserved support.
But Condit canceled, sparing his long-time Republican friend the embarrassment of giving a platform for California conservative GOPers to rage about Kasich's party disloyalty.
Condit, though, did not go home penniless. Within weeks of the canceled fundraiser, Condit's campaign deposited a $1,000 check from Kasich Chief of Staff Donald Thibaut of Columbus, Ohio.
Thibaut is not a heavy contributor. In the past two election cycles, he has made only one other political donation over $200. Thibaut, Condit and Kasich's office were unavailable for comment.
They haven't found the suicide note not-in-her-handwriting yet have they? Did Hitlery order any of her documents moved TODAY? Did her blood run uphill? Think Conduit's nervous, smiling as he sees this on the news, or both?
Wouldn't it have been nice if the adults in the family had let Chandra know on no uncertain terms that she was getting herself into a precarious situation with Condit? One radio host says the parents also knew of the relationship, and that her father had even "kidded" her about it at one point. What in hell is funny about your kid (or niece) getting involved with a married man?
Even kids in their 20's often internalize more than we think when we talk to them...I know my kids did, though they didn't let on at the time. Chandra's family didn't seem to discourage her any more than Monica's did, perhaps they lived vicariously through the girls hanging around big shots like Condit and Clinton. Monica is lucky she lived to blab about it as much as she did.

She looks a lot like the girl from Law and Order before she got married, Angie Harmon.
Talking Head- But Chief...
Chief Ramsey- Now don't you call me Chief! I ain't no injun!
Talking head- Yes sir... will you be on the job in the morning?
Chief Ramsey- Hell no bitch... it's a paid holiday, heh... heh.
