D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams said Friday he is worried money allegedly stolen from the Washington Teachers Union may have made its way into his campaign coffers.

So hypothetically if an individual making a salary of say $25 thou per year gives him $50,000 in campaign contributions, he doesn't think to say, "Hold on a sec, where'd you get this kind of money?"

So hypothetically if an individual making a salary of say $25 thou per year gives him $50,000 in campaign contributions, he doesn't think to say, "Hold on a sec, where'd you get this kind of money?"Come on. The guy's a DC politician. Since when does money have to "come from somewhere"?

"HOLY SMOKES...I'm afraid somebody gave me dirty money!"

HA HA HA HA HA!!

(Too bad Rats will believe him.)

Golly, gee. This article makes one wonder which party's campaign coffers recieved all of that money. Could it be the Democrats. Naw, they don't do things like that. Gotta be some other party. </sarcasm>
Thanks to our impartial media for reporting the full story.

Sounds Democrat to me. Typical.

[Nick Thimmesch]

Simply put: if Mayor Williams, Black Democrat, was Mayor Williams, Black Republican -- race is not a factor here in DC since Whites Need Not Apply -- the Democrats would be calling for his head. They would spin it as typical Republican dirty tricks regarding his campaign's phony signatures & heavy fine and the would smear him due to his campaign co-chair's invlovement in this fiasco. Where are the national Black Democrats on Williams? Silent.

Why don't we just call the "reparations," and forget about it. And, if you're going to prosecute every black who gets to a position of responsibility whether it be pastor, politician, educator, public sector employee or private sector employee, who helps himself to a little of the organization's wealth, then we'll need many more jails. Be prepared, as well, to be called a racist. Leave Hemphill alone; what do you expect from affirmative action.

The pages and pages of items including furs, custom-made clothes and wigs, art and vacations stunned Williams (D)

Unlikely. Rather than being stunned I suspect he knows he will be connected and this is a feeble attempt at pre-emptive spin doctoring.

What irks me is the way some unions get out of paying Social Security taxes. They have their own "retirement" accounts that organized crime and assorted other crooks use like a piggy bank.

No way. If I have to pay into SS, regardless then they should also.

See, Trent was right, but everybody is afraid to say so.

I especially liked the $15,000, yes that's $15,000, plasma wide screen TV used by the Teacher's Union.

You cannot imagine how hard left these corrupt Teacher's Union scum are. I have had some dealings with their astonishing political agenda. Man if there was ever an argument for vouchers, just talk for 1/2 hour about politics with one of the more rabid union characters.

As for the Mayor, D.C. is the most corrupt (surprise!) governmental entity in the country, a veritable banana republic 3rd world entity.

The current felon, oops I meant distinguished mayor, know the exact amount of illegal union money in his coffers. He is just setting up a defense in advance since he suspects the truth will come out.
