#2 Don't forget Jesse the Jack. Maybe he'll bring Karin Standford and his "love child" so Rielle and baby will have somebody to pal around with.

#4 Political scandal helped push the Pubs out of power in Congress in '06. Think the same thing could happen to the Dhimmis in '08?

Oh right. No. Course not. Completely different when the Dhimmis do it.

#6 This whole sorry saga began with a party and allegations of a cover up -- and includes a stripper who turned up dead

....hung herself with a nylon rope from her mom's shed 20 miles northwest of Tampa? D.C. Madam redux?

Of course it's different, Steve. Democrats KNOW they're dishonest, depraved, traitorous criminals to start with. Knowing that, they can't be faulted for committing dishonest, depraved, traitorous acts. They're just acting in character, a character they're PROUD of.

Some liberal fool on Pajamas Media commented yesterday that after years of hearing from Rush that liberals were all criminals, traitors, perverts, etc., he knew that the Right was just aching to get their guns out and "mow down some libtards."

I read that comment and thought this guy doesn't understand the half of it. Bama just may be the spark that lights the fuse starting the Second Civil War.

Obama camp: Detroit mayor would be a 'distraction'

DETROIT (AP) Barack Obama doesn't want Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and his legal troubles to be a distraction at the upcoming Democratic National Convention, and he got his wish Thursday when a judge ordered the city executive to stay home.

A Michigan spokesman for Obama, Brent Colburn, said in an e-mail Thursday that the focus of the convention in Denver this month should be on Obama and not on what Colburn called "the troubles of one individual," a reference to Kilpatrick and the two criminal cases he's facing.

Kilpatrick's lawyer, James Thomas, said high-ranking Democrats want the mayor to attend the convention. Obama spokesman Brent Colburn, however, said in an e-mail that the focus of the convention should be on Obama and not on what Colburn called "the troubles of one individual."

#9 Political scandal helped push the Pubs out of power in Congress in '06. Think the same thing could happen to the Dhimmis in '08?

Oh right. No. Course not. Completely different when the Dhimmis do it.

scandal pushed the dems out in 1994. the differnce here from '06, and from '94, is that the dems havent been in power in congress very long, and dont have the presidency. Really the political landscape is different. Im pretty sure someone who wanted could find some GOP scandals in 2002 or 2004 - it wouldnt have mattered cause larger political winds go in the other direction.

BTW, call us donks, call us socialists, call us all kinds of names - but "dhimmis"??? If you call us that, and then get upset about those who call Repubicans fascists, etc, well, youre upset will truely ring hollow.

I am optimistic, in that I know both McCain and Obama dislike this kind of thing, and I know one or the other is going to win.
