Republican Politics - The Gift That Keeps On Giving

OK kids, it's not bad enough that: - Republican Karl Rove is being investigated for outing a CIA agent. - Republican OMB Director David Safavian,was arrested on a three count indictment. - Republican Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is being investigated of the sale of his stock in a family owned business just before the stock tanked. - Republican House Majority Leader Tom DeLay is indicted on a felony campaign-finance charge. - Republican House Majority Whip Roy Blunt who is just as dirty as "hot-tub" Tom takes his place as leader of the party House Leader. Now we have the FBI and the Justice Department investigating King George's administration over the demotion of a veteran federal prosecutor whose reassignment nearly three years ago shut down a criminal investigation of the Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff. The NY Times reports: investigators had questioned whether the demotion of the prosecutor, Frederick A. Black, in November 2002 was related to his alert to Justice Department officials days earlier that he was investigating Mr. Abramoff. The lobbyist is a major Republican Party fund-raiser and a close friend of several Congressional leaders. Colleagues said the demotion of Mr. Black, the acting United States attorney in Guam, and a subsequent order barring him from pursuing public corruption cases brought an end to his inquiry into Mr. Abramoff's lobbying work for some Guam judges. Man this bunch puts the Energizer Bunny to shame the way it keeps going and going and going and....well you get the picture. And of course DeLay says in his statement "I have done nothing wrong and have not not violated any law". Hmmm that kind of reminds me of a former (Republican) President when he said "I am not a crook". MORE.....
