I’d like to congratulate every gutless Republican in that body for allowing this to fly under the wire. Stop being so concerned with being collegial you fricking pansies. You know how it works in the reverse.

I fully expect Glasnost and Erb to take the challenge and remind the Democrats of their pledge to end the corruption. I fully expect them to put their actions where their mouth was when the republicans were in charge and now take DiFi to task for her obvious corruption.
Hahahaha, boy, I just can’t keep a straight face saying all that. |

One oddity: Congressional Record shows DiFi was ranking member on the subcommittee through November, 2006, not 2005 as Mr. Keene’s (and Peter Byrne’s) article states. While I’m all for investigating Senator Feinstein, and I wish her a happy retirement as soon as the next election can provide it, the implication that she resigned from the subcommittee under some sort of cloud is not yet well supported. |

Chirp, chirp, chirp. Well, it looks like it’s up to you, then. Let’s get the ball rolling on this. Peddle your influence, man.
Show the old media, just what the new media can do.
You can have ASHC, Captain’s Quarters, and a whole host of others chatting about this for days. Then it may be picked up by Drudge…. And then it has to be recognized.
Or perhaps this is a job best left for Jon Henke. What with him being the new blogger for the Republican… what was he going to do again? I honestly can’t remember.
And where is Jon anyway?
It’s been months since we last read one of Mr. Henke’s signature pragmatic but with principles post.
I miss Jon, he was always quite reasonable.
Cheers.

Regarding DiFi, from The Hill:Melanie Sloan, the executive director of Citizens for Responsible Ethics in Washington, or CREW, usually focuses on the ethical lapses of Republicans and conservatives, but even she is appalled at the way Sen. Feinstein has abused her position. Sloan told a California reporter earlier this month that while”there are a number of members of Congress with conflicts of interest … because of the amount of money involved, Feinstein’s conflict of interest is an order of magnitude greater than those conflicts.”
And the director of the Project on Government Oversight who examined the evidence of wrongdoing assembled by California writer Peter Byrne told him that “the paper trail showing Senator Feinstein’s conflict of interest is irrefutable.” h/t to MM where I first saw this...
For the record, looking at PoGO’s site, I sense "slight" leanings to the left...
As an example, I give thee:Jennifer Gore, a spokeswoman for the non partisan Project on Government Oversight, argued that the new Congress "has been a lot more active than several Congresses before it " in pursuing allegations of government misconduct and mismanagement. Gore’s group is among the best-known government "watchdogs," privately financed groups that look for wasteful spending and corruption in federal agencies. The Republicans who ran Congress last year were receptive to results of the group’s investigations, she said, but often didn’t follow up on those findings. Under the Democrats, "what’s done with our input has changed," Gore said. |
