The New York Times still hasn't published a word about the Democrats' credit report dirty trick involving two of Chuck Schumer's former employees.
Investor's Business Daily editorializes today on Schumer's plumbers and the lack of national media coverage:
One would think a potential felony by staffers for a top Democrat — a case being investigated by the U.S. attorney's office in D.C. as well as the FBI — would at least get a paragraph of coverage somewhere between the grocery coupons and the obituaries.
Can you imagine the media firestorm if staffers for, say, Frist, had used Barack Obama's Social Security number to fraudulently obtain his credit report looking for stuff to derail his Senate campaign? Frist would have been before a media firing squad faster than you can say Bill Bennett.
Indeed. Newsday, to its credit, has been advancing the story. On Sunday, the paper disclosed some interesting facts:
The two women at the center of the FBI probe have been keeping a low profile. Both have resigned from the committee. [Katie] Barge and [Lauren] Weiner declined to comment through their lawyer, William Lawler III, the ex-president of the Washington, D.C., bar association who represented former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey during his 2004 sex scandal.
The DSCC is picking up the tab for Lawler, who charges as much as $400 an hour.

Why is it that every time I see this sleeze bag sneak on the boob tube, I immediately have this reaction that this guy is a sneaky sleeze bag?

A double Chucky Sleeze, LOL!
Does anyone know if there is a picture available or background information available about these two women, and how to find it?
I think I KNOW Lauren Weiner through her parents.
Chuck Schumer is a hatchet man
Chuck Schumer is a hatchet man
Not anywhere near an attractive man
He sneers, he lies,
And averts his eyes,
Can he be nasty? In fact, he can.
Firestorm? They would have called it "fraudgate" or some such silly thing and reported on it unendingly...
Even better, A double Chucky Sleeze bag job.
WHO IS KATIE BARGE? ...No pictures , yet.
Barge and Weiner resigned from the DSCC early this month, after two months’ paid leave and an "internal investigation." DSCC chairman Senator Schumer claims that he personally gave the order to report their illegal conduct to the authorities. The crime was an "isolated incident" caused by youthful overzealousness, states Schumer’s flack.
Miss Barge is undeniably youthful. She graduated Wesleyan University of Middletown, Connecticut in 2001. However, in her brief professional life, she has acquired an impressive track record as a political dirt-digger.
Miss Barge’s official bio from former employer Media Matters states that she has held a "range of research positions" on "presidential, gubernatorial, and senatorial campaigns." (via SourceWatch.org)
She served as opposition research director for Senator John Edwards (D-NC), during Edwards’ short-lived presidential bid, which lasted from September 16, 2003 to March 3, 2004.
The young investigator next surfaced in a New York Times feature of May 3, 2004 announcing the launch of David Brock’s Media Matters for America (MMFA). The article noted that Brock’s new research director Katie Barge "sat before a bank of computers and televisions in a room that was otherwise dark," supervising her "team of nearly a half-dozen researchers." It continues:
"Some of the researchers wore headphones as they scanned episodes of cable news programs stored on digital recording devices, among them `Hannity & Colmes’ on Fox News Channel, `Dennis Miller’ on CNBC and `Scarborough Country’ on MSNBC. Two researchers have been assigned to cover Mr. Limbaugh, whose program they will regularly transcribe."
But Miss Barge was destined for bigger and better things. In February 2005, Schumer’s DSCC hired her as research director. The DSCC works to elect Democrats to the U.S. Senate. In her new job, young Miss Barge now found herself supervising opposition research (that is, political dirt-digging) for every U.S. Senate race in the country.
If prosecuted, Miss Barge will need top-drawer legal advice. To that end, she has retained William E. Lawler III, the $420-per-hour criminal defense attorney who represented disgraced former New Jersey Governor James McGreevey. Lawler works from the Washington DC office of the Houston-based law firm Vinson & Elkins, LLP.

" A double Chucky Sleeze, LOL!"
And I match ya a LOL. Have a good one, time to hit the sack.
Lauren Weiner? Can you run that name through??
I think it is his eyes. His eyes look as if he is saying one thing and thinking another. They look hard and lifeless. Jerry Jones, owner of the Cowboys, is the same.
Schwuler? Isn't that Barney Franks name too?
Not finding much new on 'this' Lauren Weiner.
Some on other folks with the same name, so far.
