One at a time. Grover Norquest being investigated by F.B.I.

[slater71]

Tweety just reported that the FBI is now investigating Norquest and his dealings with Abramhoff. Another dirty republican. Here is a link.

1. Good! I can't stand that guy. Wish I could drown him in a bathtub

:evilgrin:

[Greeby]

2. Here's hoping that smug bastard goes to jail

He was the one who drew up the plan to priavtize everything, and I mean everything, in Iraq.

[Duer 157099]

3. What are they claiming he did wrong?

He's not an elected official is he?

There's no doubt that he was in bed with Abramoff and Delay, but what are they saying he did wrong (illegal, I mean)?

8. Taking money as a non-profit

and using it to run a campaign like a paid lobbyist.

[Duer 157099]

18. What an idiot! These guys are unbelievable

Round 'em all up.

4. It would be a great day for democracy

should they convict that criminal.

[0007]

5. 'Tis about frucking time......Why the delay?

[SoCalDem]

6. Norquist's "office" was associated with AlQaeda donors, but

somehow "that investigation" ended abruptly a while back :shrug:

[wryter2000]

7. Weldon, too

I hope they have plenty of agents. They're going to be busy.

[Emillereid]

9. There may just be a God after all!

Now if the FBI can turn their attention to Rove and Cheney, I just may have to find a church to go to.

The Repukes are nothing but the mafia dressed up as Nazis.

[Gabi Hayes]

10. Dobbs' show ran a snip on FIVE 527s that got money from Abramoff,

or his clients, then tried to influence legislation directly related to their interests

one was Norquist's, the other one I saw was something like Citizens Against Public Waste

there should be a transcript up

[Gabi Hayes]

12. thread on it here:

13. Republicans: Corrupt, Immoral, and Incompetent. n/t

[David Zephyr]

14. Norquest and Abramhoff and Rove and Delay

They are so stuck together that it is impossible to separate them.

How Ralph Reed is escaping all of this is too much.

[BootinUp]

19. I think

he was just an independant businessman in the scheme and is likely clear of criminal activity. Too bad we can't convict him for being a lieing whore.

[C_U_L8R]

15. Give that man a hot steaming bath

and a razor blade

[Rex]

16. Good for the FBI.

It doesn't happen often, but sometimes they actually do something right. Must be hard to do with Dick Cheney running things. It hope they get that bastard - Grover's been dodging jailtime for decades. Time's up.

[eleny]

17. Let's remember what he said to Bill Moyers in an interview

"Republicans and conservatives can best advance the cause of civility by working hard to finish off the hopes of the Democrats for any return to power. It is like neutering barnyard animals: they are much calmer, less likely to cause damage, and easier to control. As the vet says, "They will be happier; this is good for them." " -Grover Norquist

[paulk]

20. He got interviewed on local (Denver) tv after Amendment C

passed in 2004 - he'd been heavily involved in opposing both C & D. It was a pretty unguarded (and eye opening) interview. The real Norquist came across - petty, mean, and vicious.

It would, I hate to say, give me a great deal of pleasure to see this man marched off to jail.

[Malikshah]

24. Didn't he equate bipartisanship with date rape??

I'm going to do a quick google search for that quote..

wow-- that was easy--

Google Grover Norquist and Date Rape... and the links abound.

21. Ha ha ha--Also includes Amy Ridenour's non-profit

You'll all recognize her--that obnoxious, formidable woman who is always "testifying" before some sub-committee or another! She is the chairman of the National Center for Public Policy research. Take a looksee--Ha Ha--she is going to jail!!!

22. Now THAT is good news.

I hope they throw the lyin little creep in prison and force him to be Bubbas girlfriend.

[AlCzervik]

23. And there is no doubt Grover will squeal like a pig to avoid prison.

i hear the strangle things down to size where you can drown them in the bath tub in prison.
