it is playing out as bi-partison at this time says Chris Todd on WSJ-cpan

also that we will see if this will continue.

He is Hotline Editor in Chief.--talking of the lobby scandle

1. I think he is right--I keep hearing both Dems and Repugs are involved.

[rodeodance]

2. Has anyone seen a poll on this?---Have the Repugs convinced most that

the Dems are involved as much as the Repugs?

5. If it is a bipartisan scandal,

should it not be treated as such? Who shows the most integrity? The party that can't publicly deal with this sort of problem, or the party who will?

12. Bi-Partisan my ass

The media is playing this as a Bi-partisan scandal and soon I predict they'll make Brian Dorgan a D the poster boy for this scandal. Typical MSM move these days even though we all know it's a 90% rethug scandal.

3. spin, spin spin...

that doesn't change it at the core. Of course, there are corrupt dems. But the scandal is primarily rethug, without question.

4. Only in theory -- all the names are Rethuglican

:evilgrin:

6. Dems need to aggressively speak out and NOW before this

gets more firmly entrenched. I don't understand what their strategy is. If they are still embracing the give-them-enough-rope-and-they'll-hang-themselves plan, this is not the time to do it. They need to hammer and hammer away. Loudly. Every chance they get.

8. I think they're playing wait and see..

They might be worried about some of their more powerful figures getting too deeply wrapped up in this and if they go out and talk about it they cut off their effectiveness by getting the press to target their roles in this.

7. This and it's not even started to play out yet. Reject the spin

Yes, Ney is certainly congressman No. 1, but we have no other indictments or resignations.

This is classic campaigning creating impressions before the facts are revealled. A

9. I was really pissed until I realized you weren't talking about Chris Dodd.

10. Most People Don't Even Know Who Abramoff is

Andy Warhol must be laughing in his grave. Except for the die-hards reading the blogs, no one had ever heard of Abramoff or really has had enough time to digest what the hell is going on here...so how can anyone draw any conclusions? It's like predicting the final score in the top of the first inning.

Typical Chuck Tool spin...wishing yet another scandal away.

11. Did the guy offer any evidence, or just lie like the rest?
