Pay for play = PAYOLA. Call it PAYOLA.
This has Shrillary’s fingerprints all over it... (just kidding - I think)
That is why I spend my mornings watching Fox and Friends while waiting for my sweetie Megyn Kelly to inform me of the real news. Yes it is warm and fuzzy in the morning but not slanted so far left I have to puke before breakfast.
Shillary hasn’t been vetted either.
Wait until she has to speak out about Peter Paul. Millions of Saudi donations to her husband’s lie-brary (that money is being used to pay for her election campaign debt, making them foreign election contributions).
Thought NBC would go the same route but surprise surprise they did mention "pay for play" and the fact Obama's vetting process failed. However Chuck Todd seemed to downplay the process saying Obama was trying to appease Hispanic voters and rushed the appointment which Richardson may not have been suited for.
When Democrats are concerned, the media makes sure that any wrongdoing is “alleged”: that is, if they can be made to report on it at all. Whereas the faintest odor of Republican malfeasance always brings forth a blizzard of media coverage whose purpose is to create a blanket not of reported allegations but of presumptive guilt.
“the fact Obama’s vetting process failed”
Doubt that, they just got caught.
It is the pinnacle of arrogance to nominate as commerce secretary someone who is dirty like this, in a time like this. Amazing.
I find "Pay-for-Play" another word-game liberals in the media conjure up to downplay or soften Democrat corruption or immorality.
Sorta like Big Media leaving off a "D" when naming corrupt Democrats.
Saying Gov. Richardson is being investigated for 'bribery', well that sounds too mean and criminal. ...they'll simply say "Pay-for-Play" is being investigated in New Mexico.
Or say nothing like GMA did this morning.
Newsbusters has been really good at pointing out the bias that Big Media has in how corrupt officials from the different parties are reported on.
I can only imagine how tough it must be to leave old friends and neighbors like Ayers, Blago, Wright, Farrahkan, Blago, Rezco, Jackson, etc.
LOL: nicely done!
Diane Sawyer, Robin Roberts, and George Stephanopoulos are just a bunch of spinners, who spin things their way, trying to get people to vote for their guy, and so they need not be believed.
“but what is the “official story” and the “real reason” for Richardson being booted?”
He is the New Mexico Blagovitch.
I expected such a thing when Bill Richardson betrayed Hillary Clinton. The Clintons let it slip about some dirt I bet. Watch Wesley Clark will be the next to go—Its Called Revenge and the Clinton’s are as good as any of the Borgias. At least Richardson is still alive, for now.
