This is the kind of crap that happens when the nation polarizes along party lines. You get the weirdies coming out of the woodwork, in both parties.

Is that like wireless cable?

“On a day when they could have had impact players David Terrell or Koren Robinson..they took Georgia defensive tackle Richard Seymour, who had 1 sacks last season in the pass-happy SEC and is too tall to play tackle at 6-6 and too slow to play defensive end. This genius move was followed by trading out of a spot where they could have gotten the last decent receiver in Robert Ferguson and settled for tackle Matt Light, who will not help any time soon.”

Patters

I wonder what he statute of limitations is on those federal codes? We ought to prosecute the Bush I & II, Clinton, Reagan, etc. White House officials for offering ambassadorships. Then we can prosecute every single member of Congress for employing someone who worked on their campaign or was a child of the someone who worked on their campaign (since that could constitute a bribe).

Honestly, pf13, I understand the value of making political hay out of this and maybe it would be a good idea to prevent any patronage jobs or political horsetrading. I'll have to give this more thought.

Tell it to the ex gov of Ill. HE is being prosecuted for soliciting bribes for political position.

Sestak blew the whistle not me. HE has said publicly that he was offered a job in exchange for dropping out of the race, that my friend is a felony. When a sitting congressman says a bribe was offered that should be investigated.

1) This thread is not about corruption. This thread is about incompetence and stupidity. You want a thread about corruption - start one.

2) Sestak was supposedly offered this phantom position in July, 2009. Why is it suddenly such a big deal today? Why didn't he immediately follow through and make these charges when it happened - and follow through on both proving them and putting a stop to them?

No one should be offered anything to drop out of a race - by anyone - for any reason or for any reward. That being said, I have a hard time believing it's never happened before.

On both sides of the fence.

My point was that stupidity was not exclusively a Republican gene. Just as the refusing to ask for directions, scratching oneself and reflexively hitting the remote control repeatedly gene are exclusively attached to the Y chromosome and limited to the male of the species. Shopping and talking on the phone for hours is recessive and requires two X chromosomes.
Stupidity in politics is dominant and is widespread....
