Nannygate
Speak Spanish? Know someone who does? If so, you might want to pick up a copy of El Latino, the Spanish-language weekly that is a member of the Arkansas Times family.
This week's issue will include an exclusive interview with the Mexican woman who became an issue in the final hours of the race for U.S. Senate. She once worked as domestic help for Attorney General Mark Pryor. Republicans raised questions about whether she was a legal alien and whether Pryor had been required to pay Social Security and Medicare taxes as her employer. Pryor said there'd been no wrongdoing.
The woman now tells El Latino editor Michel Leidermann that she was indeed an illegal worker when employed by Pryor for about six months in 1999 and that she told his wife this at the time. She also says she made $70 a day for a day of work a week or more for six months, which could mean she earned enough to have required small tax payments by the Pryors. She says she was encouraged by Pryor in-laws to sign a statement absolving Pryor and that she did so because she was unnerved by being the center of controversy.
Expect to hear more about this. In English.

Did the Senator-Elect reference the False Affidavit when he denied she was illegal?

Who cares? The fundies cut off their up-turned noses, so they'll have to live with two Democrats in the minority, in a state where every other building is an outhouse.
What klutzes!

I thought from the headline that this would absolve Pryor but, if I read this correctly, it points to possible extortion ("sign this or I'll turn you in") on his part.

In eastern PA, housekeeping runs you $15-20 per hour. $70 for a full day--the Pryors were getting a steal!
Where have we heard "false affadavit" before? The Pryors learned well from their mentors.

I think this should be taken up by the Senate Ethics Committee right away, they should remove him from the Senate and send him home. We don't need another Clinton in the Senate.

Can he go to jail for this?No sense jumping to conclusions. First of all, we don't know the veracity of the housekeeper. Second of all, we don't know if Pryor knew. Third of all, Pryor is a Democrat, so he won't be held accountable, even if proven that he knew about a false affadavit. On the contrary, it qualifies him all the more for advancement in his party.

Considering the several cases of nannygate in the past, he's either a dumb-ass or an arrogant turd (or both, since he sounds like a Klintoon-wanna-be)
