Rudy also soundly defeats Sen. Rotten.
Perhaps he also wanted more "Face Time" on TV!
This is awful. The message to the Islamofascists is "We are very afraid of you and will do what you say." This is just terrible.
It's ironic that Denmark is currently a member of the Security Council and will be a very interested party in the Iranian nukes hearings.
...and meanwhile a show demeaning and blaspheming Jesus will be coming to a theater near you this summer. Mabe I will burn down a theater in protest.
*jk*
How much long is Kofi the head of the UN? It seems to me that he's been there forever.
So can we know expect no offending articles and/or pictures re: Judaism and Christianity also?
This summer? It was on TV last month!
The United Nations "feels the Muslims' pain". Yuk!
The UN is a life sized cartoon and makes me want to be violent!
It's a brand new movie made by Ron Howard. Tom Hanks is starring in it.
I think his term ends next year.
Michael Brown in front of Senate Committee blaming Homeland Security and the White House for Fema's problem...
He is getting ready to throw Bush under the bus...he is talking about his discussions with his lawyers...and he is whining about how HE doesn't have "executive priviledge"...and since he requested guidance from the White House...
He is reading a letter from Harriet Miers that he says doesn't give him guidance ....but that he is there as a private citizen..and he is asking Collins for guidance for what he should do.
Collins just told him to answer questions...but Stevens is asking if the White House has asked that he observe executive priviledge...and Stevens thinks that "executive privildege" should be made..but, Collins invited the White House to assert it and Harriet Miers has not answered her...
Oh, THAT one. I never read the book and won't see the film. I have more important things to do with my dollars than finance rubbish.
This doesn't appear to be a complete listing (only shows Harry receiving $30k)

Here's another one that is interesting - Wonder why that Rascally Rangel is getting so much from Indians in Miss. Donations to Charlie and his Pac were $32k from 2000-2004

According to this, our dimwit Senator - Patty Osama Mama Murray was the Dim that received the most (almost $41k). She's said she will not give any of the $s back as she does a lot of work for the Indians. Only problem w that is that I don't believe any of these tribes are in WA State.

Returning Abramoff cash 'taints' tribes, Murray says
By DAVID AMMONS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OLYMPIA -- Sen. Patty Murray said Friday that returning contributions from Indian tribes represented by Jack Abramoff would "taint" the tribes.
The state's senior senator, a Seattle Democrat, said there was nothing wrong with accepting more than $40,000 in campaign donations from out-of-state tribes represented by the disgraced lobbyist.
Abramoff's excesses have been halted, and Congress is considering myriad ethics reforms, she said.
The donations, from 1999 to 2005, placed Murray second among Senate Democrats and ninth overall in the Senate, according to records compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics, a Washington, D.C., organization that tracks money in politics.
Abramoff has pleaded guilty to fraud, corruption and tax evasion.
The Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe in Michigan gave Murray $14,980. She received $12,000 from the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians in California; $9,000 from the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians; and $5,000 from the Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana, the report said.
A number of lawmakers, including Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., returned similar contributions or sent the money to charity. Murray's staff announced last month that she saw no reason to do so.

Not that who comes next will be an more significant, but one can always hope that the public remarks will be slighty less dangerous, and more intelligent.
Thanks sleuth. I have been facinated with what Tony is saying this morning and have just been watching without listening.
