Yesterday Hassan Nemazee was sentenced to 12 years in prison for running a Ponzi scheme some proceeds of which were funneled into Democratic campaigns. The New York financier was no stranger to liberal Democratic politics, having served as national finance chairman for Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign and New York state finance chairman for John Kerry's 2004 presidential run. He also donated a generous $50,000 to President Obama's inaugural festivities. Yet in reporting the development, both the Washington Post and the New York Times downplayed the story.

“NYT Buries Story”

Here’s the real injustice. The MSM should be bludgeoned constantly with it’s bias.

And with that Obama has been spared his biggest Democrat challenger of 2012. No way Hillary! can run with a "Bernie Madoff" around her neck...

Anybody who thinks that Hillary with a Democrat Congress would be in any way better that Obama, needs to really really roll that around in your head a bit more.

Besides bowing, I can’t think of anything that Obama has done, or any bill that has been passed that she wouldn’t have gladly signed on to. More likely, most of it would have been written behind closed doors in the WH , instead of Pelosis office.

But the Queen Bee battle between her and Pelosi could have added some comic relief.
