I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
well if there isn't an investigation there should be
segundo
Purity of Essence. Just sayin.
Who to believe. A dipshit (no pun intended) PA congressman known to fabulate, or a print reporter.
And Weldon would have gotten away with it too, were it not for those meddling kids.
I would love to have the inside skinny on this case!
What a surprising October!
apparently the law has a liberal bias!

NEW YORK President Bush keeps revising his explanation for why the U.S. is in Iraq, moving from narrow military objectives at first to history-of-civilization stakes now.
Initially, the rationale was specific: to stop Saddam Hussein from using what Bush claimed were the Iraqi leader's weapons of mass destruction or from selling them to al-Qaida or other terrorist groups.
But 3 1/2 years later, with no weapons found, still no end in sight and the war a liability for nearly all Republicans on the ballot Nov. 7, the justification has become far broader and now includes the expansive "struggle between good and evil."

Shhhh! The FBI's likes it vewy, vewy quiet while they investigate.
One source, described only as a law enforcement official, said Weldon hadn’t yet been told of the inquiry.
Well he knows now...... 
Stick a fork in him.
Crazy Curt was just trying to line up another archaeological expedition, this time for Karen.

Not to mention that Saddam is gone.
Remember when the objective was to remove Saddam?
Well, they actually succeeded there - it may well be the only success they've had.
I thought we were leaving after Saddam was deposed.
Yeah, right.
It wasn't a lame comment, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna type it a third time.
NeoConVicts
Damn, how lucky can a kid be to stumble into a nearly empty thread....
"Continuing speculation about Weldon's fanatical Nepotism, can't be good for Crazy Curt, now can it."
Perky NewsBot: "I wonder if all of these republican scandals are the responsibility of the democratics, and their remote control devices?
"Some have said that Kerry was wearing a box under his suit during the debates"
.
Remember when the objective was to remove Saddam?
Rumor has it the Iraqis are trying to find that old statue of saddam and put it back up.
It would be great news if Weldon were actually punked. It would show that the Left is starting to punch back using some of the Right's tactics, and would be not only fair, but really required behavior. Fighting fire with fire, so to speak. The ReNAMBLAcans will scream, but that's just music to my ears. they've stolen at least thee elections; time to gut them and make them shark bait. I'm really tired of the "high road" BS that has Dems hiding in the corner.
"There is no formal investigation..."
Tomaszewski said neither Weldon nor anyone in his office has been contacted by the Justice Department.
Non-denial denials.
Haloscan telling me to get to work. Dammit.
Oh, you published THAT, you little bastard!
Oh, you published THAT, you little bastard!
the Curt Weldon show has consistently been bizarre
Sorry about that Moe.
I take it the old bird is still having seizures?
.
DNA tests will show that Weldon's daughter was actually fathered by a gay Democratic milkman.
This will only be good for the GOP.
.
Give Steny Hoyer some credit. The Democratic Whip in the House is looking past any October surprise to the post-election period when Republicans may employ a whole range of strategies to hold on to their House majority regardless of the voters' verdict on November 8.
Hoyer recently wrote a letter to Republican Vernon Ehlers, chairman of the usually obscure House Administration Committee, voicing concerns about the possiblity of contested House elections:
With many House races expected to be very close this November, there is the real possibility that recounts will occur in several congressional districts, with some outcomes being challenged under the Federal Contested Election Act (P.L. 91-138, 83 Stat. 284). I am deeply concerned that ambiguities and deficiencies in this statute may prolong rather than facilitate the resolution of contested elections by the Committee on House Administration unless the Committee acts now, in a non-partisan and collaborative manner, to develop a set of clear protocols for managing any contest or contests that the Committee faces in November.
At least one Democrat has learned the lesson of Bush v. Gore: losing an election doesn't stop this band of Republicans from trying to take the office anyway.

"punked"
You mean fooled?
Tomaszewski said neither Weldon nor anyone in his office has been contacted by the Justice Department.
Yeah, as if the Justice Dept. comes to your house and asks permission to investigate you.
I wouldn't be surprised if McClatchy got it wrong. Since they took over the Minneapolis paper the quality has gone straight south.
Sounds like that Dobson denial that Keith Olbermann used to beat him about the head and face.

Lurid divorce from GOP fundraiser for 'Stars' singer Evans
RAW STORY
Published: Friday October 13, 2006
Country singer and ABC's Dancing With the Stars regular Sara Evans has filed for divorce from her husband of 13 years, failed GOP congressional candidate and party fundraiser Craig Schelske.
According to an article in today's Tennesseean, Evans alleges that Schelske "committed adultery, verbally abused her and frequently watched pornography at home." She has now left the ABC show "to give her family her full attention."
Among several salacious charges leveled at her husband, Evans asserts that he uses his computers to store pornographic pictures of himself and with other women and to run "Craig's Lists" ads seeking "prospective sex partners." Evans also alleges that Schelske harassed her and viewed pornography in front of their three young children.

Army "Big Brother" Unit Targets Bloggers
Bloggers: "Big Brother is not watching you, but 10 members of a Virginia National Guard unit might be," according to the Army. The Manassas-based Guardsmen are on a one-year assignment to clamp down on both "official and unofficial Army Web sites for operational security violations."
The team, working "under the direction of the Army Web Risk Assessment Cell" hunts for "documents, pictures and other items that may compromise security" -- and then orders the parties to take the offensive content offline.
Not that the material is top secret or anything, an Army News Service article notes.
The most common OPSEC [operational security] violations found on official sites are For Official Use Only (FOUO) documents and limited distribution documents, as well as home addresses, birthdates and home phone numbers.
Unofficial blogs often show pictures with sensitive information in the background, including classified documents, entrances to camps or weapons. One Soldier showed his ammo belt, on which the tracer pattern was easily identifiable.

At least one Democrat has learned the lesson of Bush v. Gore: losing an election doesn't stop this band of Republicans from trying to take the office anyway.
This is something I'd been thinking about lately. Look at what the GOP pulled in the Washington governor's race in 2004. And of course there's the infamous Brooks Brothers riot in Florida.
If they're going to lose, the GOP want to lose by close enough margins that they can mount court battles. They will lie, cheat and steal any way they can.

On the other hand look at the Democratic response to their bullshit. They didn't pull a Kerry and just give up. They fought long and hard and did not give up. Gregoire is the example of how a campaign should be run and she has been a very good govenor for the state of Washington too.

Well, it's pretty hard to get more vague than that.
The original reason for invading Iraq: oil. If things had gone according to their deluded fantasies, Ahmed Chalabi would have been installed as our puppet, the Iraqi oil industry would have been privatized and sold to foreign interests, Iraq would have pulled out of OPEC, and there would a pipline under construction between Iraq and it's new close ally, Israel. About the only thing left of their original plan is the permanent military bases they are still in the process of building to guard over our new colony.

Look, if we win this one, that's a whole heap of good.
Nancy Pelosi has already said there would be investigations, and a legislative blitz to roll back some of the more egregious things this Congress has done.
Curt goes to the same audiologist as Fat Denny
You're going down, you crazy lying fuck.
Indeed.
Of course it's possible that he didn't know that there was an investigation going on.
there will be investigations...

Their war gaming told them it would be a cakewalk. Of course, to be fair they only got in four runs before their trial version of Civilization 4 expired.
Look, if we win this one, that's a whole heap of good.
True, but if chimpy had been sent packing he wouldn't have been able to install his opus dei assholes on the supreme court.
We'll be living with that for a long, long, long time to come.
Oh, yes, Puppethead, those GOP bastards dug in their heels here in WA. Even after the final court ruling 6 months after the election, there were 2 or 3 diehards still filing crap, fighting the decision. These were individuals, not the Repub party, but trust me, if they made any progess the party would have jumped in.

Better Stop Whining
AP:
WASHINGTON - The FBI is investigating whether Rep. Curt Weldon, R-Pa., used his influence to secure lobbying and consulting contracts for his daughter, two people familiar with the inquiry said Saturday.
The inquiry focuses on lobbying contracts worth $1 million that Weldon's daughter, Karen Weldon, obtained from foreign clients and whether they were assisted by the congressman, they said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because of the confidentiality of the criminal investigation.
Weldon, a 10-term Republican from the Philadelphia suburbs, long has denied any wrongdoing, and his top aide Saturday said no one had notified him of an investigation.

John Kerry denouncing the Bushboy regime as a collection of liars. He regrets his vote giving Bushboy the power to go to war. He calls for the Gooper congress to be removed from office for incompetence and venality.
I wish he'd spoken more like this during the 2004 campaign!
The best thing about having Nancy Pelosi as speaker of the house?
All the rightwing talk radio assholes who will have a stroke on the very first day.
a legislative blitz to roll back some of the more egregious things this Congress has done.
And Chimpy's response suddenly becomes: "They send me a bill I don't like and I veto it. Heh, heh... I'm the Vetoer -- cause that's what I do. I veto things."

Ain't that the truth.
There is something seriously wrong with people who give away their own right to think to some idiot religious leader like James Dobson, Jerry Falwell or Pat Robertson.
And yet far too many Evangelicals do it. Instead of thinking for themselves, they allow these highly overpaid frauds to dictate to them what to believe!
People who allow themselves to be used like that are really no better than zombies.

You mean more. Of course.
Anytime anyone says that they speak to God or for God, you know they're batshit crazy or downright evil.
The best thing to do is to tell them to fuck off and then remove them from your presence.

If Bushboy ever had a lucid moment and could realize how much death and destruction he has caused, he'd probably consider seppuku.
I doubt, however, that he's ever had a lucid moment or ever will.
1 man still locked up from 9/11 sweeps By MARTHA MENDOZA, AP National Writer
In a jail cell at an immigration detention center in Arizona sits a man who is not charged with a crime, not suspected of a crime, not considered a danger to society.
There he has been in custody for five years.
His name is Ali Partovi. And according to the Department of Homeland Security, he is the last to be held of about 1,200 Arab and Muslim men swept up by authorities in the United States after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
There has been no full accounting of all of these individuals. Nor has a promised federal policy to protect against unrestricted sweeps been produced.
WTF?
Dont worry, Mr. Area 51 will find those WMD's before we find the cash in his daughter's freezer
