Boxer’s sweetheart deal with reinstated Indian tribe (Boxer The New Abramoff)
Hot Air ^ | October 30, 2010 | Ed Morrissey

In 2006, Democrats successfully won back control of Congress by highlighting corruption scandals involving Jack Abramoff, a lobbyist specializing in Indian tribes.

But does one Democrat in particular have a problem of her own with her interventions on behalf of a California tribe that now operates a casino just outside of San Francisco? Barbara Boxer pushed a bill reinstating a tribe designated as “defunct” by the BIA 40 years earlier through legislation that she also amended to remove a prohibition on gaming on any land the tribe owned.

I read about this earlier today.  ANOTHER reason to repeal the 17th Amendment.  If these 'country club' Senators weren't so damn comfortable . . .

Were I Fiorina’s communications adviser, it would be on the air right now — with different versions of the ad appearing every 12 hours until Tuesday evening. It is kick-a** time!

Get it to Drudge et al. Ask Rush to mention it on Monday!!! Mark Levin and Savage would put it on the air if we get the info to them.

Asking for help from Freepers who have contacts in high places.

Why has it taken until now for this to surface.

To BobP: Great editing on Boxer. She is an ahole and it is time that we called her that. What a disgrace to the American people.

Hopefully next week, Congress will be largely asshole-free.

As Robespierre once said (or should have said): Let the purge begin.

Newsmax states Pelosi to retire if Republicans win. Interesting is the “Whitehouse Insider” mentioned that the Deocrates were trying to boot her fanny and she was fighting back. Looks like she may be yielding.

During his “Reign of Terror”, Robespierre liked to literally chop off his enemies’ heads. Today, he’d be like Alan Grayson with a brain.
