[blm]

1. And every voice booked to speak is a shill for BushInc.

Plan on hearing more than a few times that the Democrats took money from Abramoff, and that Bush barely even knows MISTER Abramoff.

[Bozita]

3. Yup, Dems took $$$ from Abramoff or his clients

They didn't stress clients or even mention clients acting independently.

2. Steno Sue?

She's totally unbiased. :sarcasm:

4. I take a back seat no one in my disgust for Steno Sue ...

.. I was involved in the Clinton Impeachment and literally watched her earn the nickname from a close (though not truly inside) vantage point.

HOWEVER ...

Having read the Abramoff Gang's private responses to her Feb. 22 '04 article on the subject as documented by the Senate investigation, I gotta say she's responsible for some of the funniest things I've ever read in my life.

They were all on their blackberries sending simultaneous messages both to their group list and privately. My favorite was a guy named Duane who texted the list something like "Hey, it's not nearly as bad as we were worried about" while two other guys texted each other privately something like "Did that IDIOT read the part about 'an FBI investigation' being opened?"

5. By the time they get thru it will all be Clinton's fault.
