[Chi-townChief]

Thanks for the ping. It would be great to see Jan doing 5-to-10 at some womens' prison farm.

I was just going to post "bet it's another Demoncrat at work ". Sure enough! Another Demoncrat.

Why doesn't Bush list the criminals that belong to the Demoncrat party? They are a bunch of lying criminals.

Pennsylvania had a liberal Democrat Congresswoman named Mizvinsky that had a husband convicted of criminal wrongdoing with other folks money. She lost her seat after she sided with Slick Willy and his co president on some issue or another. Maybe a tax hike?

[Samwise]

Schakowsky, a Democrat elected to Congress

This must be a typo. Everyone knows that Republicans are the crooks and liars. John Kerry told me so.

[GiveEmDubya]

Probably was a tax hike.

She was from the 13th district, a swing seat, in the Philadelphia suburbs. Schakowsky is in a Cook County seat that the Democrats would win if they exhumed Stalin and ran him.

"I bet this woman sees no jail time."

Well, probably not - considering that someone else is alleged to have comitted the crime.

It would be great to see Jan doing 5-to-10 at some womens' prison farm.

Maybe she could share a cell with Betty Maltese.

Basically taking advantage of the float, the time between writing a check and the actual debiting of the account.

Unless he was simply writing bad checks with no funds to supprt them.

[ApplegateRanch]

Schakowsky carries on that tradition in Congress with efforts to...to protect consumers from predatory lenders.

Now I understand!

Her husband had to kite the checks, because the predatory lenders (evil, crooked Republicans, all) would not loan money to honest, champion of the people Democrats fighting for social justice, blah, blah, blah.

It is Bush's fault!

She graduated from the University of Illinois in 1965 with a B.S.

B.S. is right. The only honest thing in the whole, in love with her own name, diatribe.

[Kaslin]

Lets see how this compares to the Martha Stewart witch hunt. I bet this woman sees no jail time.

It's her husband who commited the crime

[philetus]

Like hell she never knew about it.

I think it's writing a check when you know there isn't enough money in the bank to cover it. It's using the lag time between when the check is written & when it gets back to the writer's bank to spend money not in the account. Thing is...it doesn't always work & the check bounces.

[Cultural Jihad]

What was the purpose of the public interest group?

Activist advocacy for progessive cronyism, apparently.

[Cultural Jihad]

And progressive cronyism, too!

[Mike Bates]

Are Democrats really that stupid?

Please. Stop it with those straight lines.

[pointsal]

PINGING FROM THE right

[sport]

But do you believe her?

[Mike Bates]

This woman is one of the most vicious partisans in congress and that is saying a lot!

That she is.
Exploiting a national tragedy

[Mike Bates]

Yeah, right! Think she'll go into a Sgt. Shultz "I KNOW NUTHINK" mode?

It's been done before.
