14. i don't trust bill hemmer's cleanliness of soul. something's up!

[gratuitous]

17. What got me

Is that Williams was quoted in USA Today as saying that he would have backed NCLB anyway because he deeply believes in the program. What a bunch of stooges the Bush administration is! Paying a whore to do what he would have done anyway!

A quarter million of your tax dollars and mine for this.

[madfloridian]

7. Could you give his full name?

?

[Warpy]

8. They're ALL full of shit

especially the silent Democrats. I get the impression that half of them buy the bullshit that declaring this election invalid due to the massive and blatant GOP fraud would tear apart the country and half are nice and comfy with the prospect of having the thieves lower their rich mens' taxes while artificially fattening their portfolio with social security money.

A pox on all their houses.

I'm done giving those overpaid, pampered sacks of shit the benefit of the doubt. I will be voting Green come the next senatorial race. I want that useless DLC boob we're stuck with GONE.

And yes, just like the mob kept two sets of books, you can be sure that the major parties have both sets of voting records.

13. it's time to be the democrats

DLC is no longer the democrats, you see.........

12. Amazing, how he can admit it, and still feign "innocence"...

quote:

"I can see how people could think it was an innapropriate thing to do, and a conflict of interest", BUT......

(in repube-speak..... It's none of your business.. get over it...I can do anything I damned well please, and you all can just bite me ...


and the reporter then asked him.. about the fact that it was inappropriate because he made money from the advertisements because the money went to a "company he 'worked for'....Williams then said" I don't WORK for it.. I OWN the company"..

Bold as brass...they have no shame..no sense of decorum. They have complete immunity .

[slor]

16. He is an example of the new rethuglican "two-fer"...

They got 2 things out of playing him. 1: He tried to sell out his race for quick money (sadly, I know of people in my community that fell for NCLB bullshit) and 2: he will be the one that takes the fall for this, and then you will watch the story vanish from radar.
