Well...Well.. ViNovak's husband Dem for the Federal Elections Commission??
Edited on Sat Dec-17-05 05:46 PM by KoKo01
(Interesting comment from FireDogLake about ViNovak's husband being possibly rewarded by the Chimp?)


Well well well. What do we have here?

George W. Bush has picked new nominees for the FEC. One is a Republican, Hans von Spakovsky, whom Ted Kennedy says "may be at the heart of the political interference that is undermining the Department's enforcement of federal civil laws." And in an uncharacteristic moment of cheerful bipartisanship, Bush is also appointing a Democrat, Robert D. Lenhard, who was quite helpful to the 1600 Crew as part of the legal team that challenged the constitutionality of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law.

But there is perhaps another reason why Mr. Lenhard is being rewarded by BushCo. at just this moment. He's the husband of Viveca Novak, whose testimony now provides the foundation for Karl Rove's defense in the CIA leak case.

2. Doesn't that just smell like the dead fish it is?
Journalists are just so cozy with this Administration. No wonder we get nothing but crap from almost all of them.

4. That was my first thought. So...the guy's a Dem..and maybe ViNovak
is one too...but the Coziness...or frankly the "incestuousness" of the Inside the Beltway Crowd that moves between Lobbyists, Law Firms, K-Street, Corporate Interests and Law Firms is starting to make me wonder, also how any "TRUTH" or "TRANSPARENCY" can survive!

After all...these folks have kids, families, partners, etc. They ARE NOT GOING TO BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS THEM..just for us little PEASANTS outside the Beltway? :shrug:

It's a "Parasitic Relationship." Not good.........Not good.....:-(

3. But I was under the impression that her testimony was, ultimately...
...unhelpful to KKKarl.
