Looks like republicans don't have a lock on "scandals"

[skadistic]

Why should we be forced to only read about the made up scandals on Palin? From things she may or may not have said at one time that may or may not have been over heard by a waitress to how her daughter is the real mother of her baby.

There are real scandals out there. Like the man who proposed the largest tax increase ever skipping on his taxes. Renting 4 rent controlled apartments, an act that happens to be a crime. Yup that would be Rep. ( that's representative not republican ) Chuck Rangle.

In recent days, Lanny Davis, attorney for Rep. Rangel, disclosed that the congressman didn't report on his taxes more than $75,000 in rental income on a resort villa he owned in the Dominican Republic

And Nancy Pelosi said that this democrat controlled congress would be the most ethical ever.

Rangel, 78, requested an investigation by the House Ethics Committee in July, following published reports that he was leasing four rent-stabilized apartments in a luxury development in the upper Manhattan neighborhood of Harlem. He was using one of the apartments as a campaign office, despite city and state laws requiring that rent-controlled properties be used as a primary residence. He has since moved his office out of that apartment, but has remained in the other three.

He is also under investigation for using his congressional stationery to solicit funds for a local college's academic center that will bear his name.

Gee that doesn't look to good. And its real. He even admitted to it. So unlike the scandals of what Palin may or may not have said at some time that some one may or may not have heard this scandal has merit.

Did you guys know that skadistic tacitly supports illegal immigrants by purchasing goods and services from companies which either use illegal immigrant labor themselves, or indirectly through goods and services that they themselves purchase?

The point being, of course, that everybody does wacky stuff from time to time that conflicts with their professed beliefs. This is no news.

I sure do now! That definitely discredits everything skadistic says.

If washington is nuked during the state of union adress and he isn't there hell be the only member of congress. Then he can name himself speaker of the house and therefore become president.

Palin's Walter Monegan scandal is pretty serious.

Why aren't you calling for his head CG? You would if it was a republican. You would if it was one of the fictitious scandals about Palin.

Walter Monegan scandal is not fictitious, Skad.

No its just blow way out of proportion to appear to be a scandal.

You think the abuse of political positions for personal vendettas is a small thing?
