No one wants to dance with Ralphie Reed anymore.....Poor widdle Ralphie>>
I just love firedoglake. Read it everyday since another DUer turned me on to it.

Typhoid Ralph Reed's friend aren't returning his calls. They aren't hanging out with him in public. And they certainly aren't passing out endorsements after Jack Abramoff's plea on January 3. Seems folks in Georgia no longer want to take Ralphie to the dance.

snip>

"I need to start humping in corporate accounts," Reed wrote to Abramoff in 1998. "I'm counting on you to help me with some contacts."...

Reed also depended on Abramoff to help his political campaigns. In one e-mail exchange in 2001, he asked Abramoff to contribute to his successful bid to become state Republican chairman in Georgia. When Abramoff asked where to send the donation, Reed joked, "The actual committee is `The Reed Family Retirement and Educational Foundation.' The address is 200 Bay Drive, Grand Cayman, BCI, R59876."

Well, praise the Lord and pass the collection plate, that's a pretty damn good retirement scam. (Reed says he was joking, just FYI. Some joke. I'm sure the Tiguas think it's hilarious.) Kind of tough to claim you didn't know where the money was coming from when there's a big, long e-mail trail, isn't it? Hypocrisy much?

2. Washington state was happy to offload Reed
but very, very sad that he's still running his games elsewhere.

>Seems folks in Georgia no longer want to take Ralphie to the dance.<

He's an odious waste of skin, isn't he? :puke: He can't sink into obscurity soon enough for me.

4. He was in Washington state?
He was sleazing around my old stomping grounds in Virginia Beach for a long time. I hope this is the death knell of his political aspirations. What was he going to run for in Georgia? Lt. Governor? Allowing Ralph Reed into the statehouse of any state is like inviting a vampire into your home.

7. I'm really glad he's fallen on his face here in GA.
Lots of people here would have voted for him only because of his association the Baptists. They don't even listen to what he has to say or promises he might make. The Baptist link was all they needed!

That's the reason they're all sticking with Shrub! "He's a good, God fearing" man!"

5. And the winner is ...
With all the corruption scandals currently surfacing in the GOP, it's just a matter of time before they all stop speaking to one another for fear of being caught up in someone else's malfeasance.

The Dems will inherit the earth - not due to great campaigning or sound ideas - but simply because the Repugs will eventually stop communicating with each other altogether!

6. Gosh, Does This Mean He Won't Be President After All?
Sigh, it seems his great plan has failed. and I was so looking forward to 8 more years of thieving and deception.
