Check your liberalism just this once. Weldon is being taken out because he is raising questions about able-danger and the government involvement in 9/11. You can't see the forest for the trees, and you call it Progress? Please spare me. James Are all of you people so blinded by by dogma that you fail to see the truth?

Nothing significant will come of it and it's details are too intricate for front page news. Hastert's land deal is far easier for the general populace to understand, but no one outside of the Chicago media seems to care. Kelso, the Reid deal is a non-starter.

If a person buys land on the edge of the fastest growing city in the United States, it doesn't really suprise me that it's worth a lot more than it was in 1998. The story says he didn't disclose the transfer of the land to a LLC. There might be more to it, but I have a hard time seeing the "corrupt" angle here.

Reid is under investigation. If he did anything wrong or illegal, the investigation should bear that out. I am not in favor of giving him a pass because he is a Democrat. Let's talk about how Hastert went from a net worth of around $300,00 to $6 million. Guess what, it involves a land deal and it made more money than Reid or Whitewater. Hey Jay, tell you what.

Really, really Excellent. The only thing you left out was Bugs Bunny laughing hysterically an crying out "WHAT A MAROON, DOC!!!! WHAT A MAROON". Two little point of personal pleasure I find when driving and listening to the news on the radio: (1) When ever I hear John Bolton say anything, I loudly chant "STOP THE COUNT !! STOP THE COUNT!! STOP THE COUNT!!". How anyone in the free world can give that fellow any respect for any opinion after the anti-democracy thuggery he performed in FLA in 2000 is beyond me. (2) Whenever I hear C.

Listen to her next time you get a chance: You can't avoid the same shrill twang in her voice. #7. Really, really Excellent.
