The K Street Project Lives, Norquist Aide Soliciting Support At Event Tonight
The K Street Project was the legislation-for-money peddling scheme that helped bring down former Majority Leader Tom DeLay and exposed the corrupt culture in which Jack Abramoff’s criminal activity was encouraged and rewarded. DeLay once explained the partisan nature of the Project as “punishing your enemies and rewarding your friends.”
When Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) came into power, he pledged to eliminate the K Street project. Conservatives claimed the pay-to-play process had been “consigned to the dustbin of history.” But in fact, the K Street Project continues to thrive.
Roll Call recently reported that “Anti-tax activist Grover Norquist has tapped Sarah Smith, a former College Republican team leader and field representative for the Bush-Cheney 2004 campaign, to be the first manager of the [K Street] project, which is run out of the office of Norquist’s Washington-based group, Americans for Tax Reform.” A blurb in the The Star Democrat — a small Maryland paper — reveals just how aggressively and covertly Norquist and company continue to push the K Street Project.
Tonight, Norquist’s ally Sarah Smith will be attending a gathering of the Chesapeake Republican Women to solicit their support for the Project:
Republican women to meet in Chester April 2
CHESTER — The Chesapeake Republican Women will hold a meeting at 7 p.m. Monday, April 2, at Coldwell Banker Waterman Realty in Chester, with guest speaker Sarah Smith, manager of the K Street Project at the Americans for Tax Reform.
Smith will speak on the efforts of the K Street Project — a program started by Grover Norquist in 1989. Smith, a graduate of Mary Washington College with a degree in international relations, has served as the manager of the K Street Project for the past two years.
Before that, she worked with the Major Donor Programs for the Republican National Committee. Her earlier experience includes serving as Pennsylvania’s Team Captain for the College Republican National Committee dealing with college outreach during the Bush/Cheney 2004 re-election campaign.
Currently she serves on the Board of the DC Republican Women’s group, RightNOW Political Chicks and is a member of the Alexandria Young Republicans, America’s Future Foundation, the Intercollegiate Studies Institute and Women in Government Relations.

Grover Cumkwat.
April 2nd, 2007 at 5:55 pmWasn’t Norquist under investigation a while back? His good buddies were Abramoff and Safavian, and Grover was implicated in some kickback scheme.
April 2nd, 2007 at 5:59 pmWas it a family name, or was he named after Grover on Sesame Street?
April 2nd, 2007 at 6:03 pmWhy do I think the Chesapeake Republican Women won’t be booing Smith out of the building?
April 2nd, 2007 at 6:03 pmWhy is Norquist not behind bars yet?
April 2nd, 2007 at 6:06 pmGrubber says hes for Tax reform yet he is King of the Pork Barrel Pachyderms that heap loads of lard unto the backs of average Americans during a time of war, and crippling deficits.
Grubber also said he was for smaller government when in fact he’s for bigger government.
These people are NOT conservatives.

April 2nd, 2007 at 6:15 pmThe Democrats need to have a good set of talking points for each item that was not pork. It would also be good to support how the last Republican led Congress should have (and failed) to adress the issues in last years budget. We should also be attacking in public for every comparision with the Republican pork piled on their emergency spending bills in terms of $ amount and real pork examples. The Dems need to be out front on this.
I hope that there was little pork in the bill. I hope our Dem Congressmen understand that they have to show a substantially higher conduct than the Repugs. Remember, people forget the relative numbers. They only fall for the Repug propaganda of “The Dems are just as bad us we are.”
April 2nd, 2007 at 6:23 pmOl’ Grover was all tied in with Abramoff and his crooked schemes. I can’t wait to see him go to jail.
April 2nd, 2007 at 6:24 pmha! ha! the location of the meeting cracks me up!
April 2nd, 2007 at 6:30 pmColdwell Banker Waterman Realty!

‘Course, maybe the Chesapeake women have some concern for all their seaside investments, and are just trying to unload their properties before they’re under water…..
Grover advocates destroying the government by “drowning in bathtub”
He a traitor and needs to be tried and executed, after first spending 30 years in prison. After his death, his body preserved and then hung in the same cell for another 30 years, then finally sent to the neighborhood garbage dump with all the other trash
Someone reading this might get the idea I don’t like ol’ Grover much at all, EH?
April 2nd, 2007 at 6:33 pmIsn’t Grover a muppet’s name?
April 2nd, 2007 at 6:43 pmSomeone reading this might get the idea I don’t like ol’ Grover much at all, EH?

Dudes and dudettes… look at the the list of plausible criminals and the remedies. Then look at the total amount of wealth that has been transfered. Then add back in the post-remedy comp.
Its all a side-show.

Team Captain for Pennsylvania’s College Republican National Committee? Would that be ….these guys?: (From my “Republican Family Values†file):
A young Republican supporter at the Republican National Convention in New York City was caught on videotape kicking a female protester inside Madison Square Garden. At the time she was lying on the ground helpless, held there by three secret service agents. In video clips on the Internet, the unknown Republican is seen grabbing for a female protester and helping to drag her to the ground. He is later shown making a kicking motion toward the girl on the ground, while the television reporter commented that he was kicking her. When asked on camera after the incident if he kicked a protester, the student replied, “I don’t believe so.” He had no response when he was told that the image was captured on tape.
Well, he may have been caught. Several University of Pennsylvania students have identified the man in the video, whose name was unknown at the time the footage was taken, as Wharton junior Scott Robinson, a member of the Penn College Republicans. …Of course, the College Republicans have distanced themselves from the incident.
What could also prove embarrassing to Scott is his involvement with a young, ultra-conservative group called Protest Warriors. But friends insisted to Campaign Extra! that Robinson was not affiliated with Protest Warrior at Penn. OK.
