Probe: Pair testify they were not advised of key facts or concerns before they cleared the way for the costly software deal.

"Well, I don't recall anything about that. All I can remember is that, once I signed, obligating the state, I was to get a sh**load of money, Governor Davis was to get a lot of money, and all sorts of cash was to go to the stete Democratic committee. You know, it was just like all the other times."

....Cabinet Secretary Susan Kennedy said the first she had heard (about) Baheti......
....accepting the donation was when she read about it in newspapers this month.......

The girl is a medical miracle. Even with no brain, she can actually read.

They flashed a picture of lying bimbo Kennedy on tv as my wife was scanning the channel (yes, she gets the remote control, sometimes). My wife's medical observation was that she looked like the poster girl for a spastic colon RX ad and as Liz noted, the Poster Girl for a Donate your brains to the brainless ad.

I started to roar and asked my wife if she knew who this bimbo was and she said no. I told her. Then, my wife started to say how do you know that, then she shook her head and said Free Republic, huh. I winked and said Yep!

This is how the fascist criminals in Davis's administration never go to jail and get by with criminal behavior:

Democrats controlling the committee blocked state Sen. Ray Haynes (R-Riverside) from pressing Kennedy about the donation and about the governor's policy against government aides mixing politics and policy.

Who were these damn Nazis blocking Ray from asking the right questions?

You need to buy one of those turbans and go to the capitol and use your lines. One of us can hold up a sign with your Carnak questions, and then one of us can lift up your answers.

They all sound like the Hilldebeast. They can remember in detail things that happened 20-40 years ago until they get sworn in to testify. Then it is:

I DON'T RECALL! I CAN'T REMEMBER! I DIDN'T KNOW THE WHOREACLE BRIBE WAS LOADED?
