Who was that guy who said that one of the factors leading to his conclusion that Obumbler was going to win next year was that there were no scandals in his administration?

No scandals being covered by the MSM.

This is just a one time, never again story so that ABC can say "Oh we mentioned that, old story".

I don’t disagree that Bush was an idiot for signing that energy bill—as if the environmentalists would give him any credit for doing it, anyway.

What worries me is that presumably Boehner has said that Upton will be in charge of pursuing this latest scandal.

Boehner put Upton in charge of the commerce and energy subcomittee, although he knew he was a leftist. And, so far, as far as I have heard, Upton has continued to refuse to allow the repeal of the incandescent ban to be discussed in his committee, although he promised he would when he was given the job.

Maybe he’ll follow up on this. But I have my doubts. He has been handed the ball, and I’m afraid he’ll just stick it in his pocket until the issue is forgotten.

ABC investigate Obama —oh yeah, sure..!

I can’t believe people are falling for this!!

The collapse is HUGE and ABC simply knows it will LOOK BAD if they can’t make a later claim of having looked into it.

Do I hope the Gay Muslim gets busted for this? Oh sure!! But if ABC really does dig, well, then I’ll eat my hat.

Indeed.

But truthfully it says more about Boehner than it does a lone wuss congresscritter in the house.

Upton must have found a pair of supernatural kneepads for that assignment.

No one can fix this light bulb mess regardless of one’s view.

It was a result of crony capitalism, lobbyists and all that.

They all have dirt on their hands.

Bottom line gubmint interfered, removed the free market and that’s what we got.

This is what must be stopped.

Looks like an integrity problem to me, if there were better contenders that got passed over. Not that the cylinder solar energy collection system looks like all that bad an idea. But keeping foreign companies from eating their overseas sales lunch would be difficult. (Patent? We don’t care about no steenkin patent!)

LOL.

In the general population, that reference would be lost.

Speaking of comparing the experience of the Bush administration to the “Fast and Furious” case, I think it’s telling to compare the multi-year media uproar over the “outing” of Whitehouse-CIA-agent-in-residence Valarie Plame to the absolute silence on human beings (including a border patrol agent) LOSING THEIR LIVES in the case of F&F.

IMHO Dems PTB (powers that be) are looking for a political way to pick some new horses for the 2012 race, these two is lookin’ like a couple of “mules”. That’s another reason, IMHO, that Repubs need to tack far right. The Dem “replacement team” would, of course, tack center. So if Repubs field a “centrist” team, it would be completely up for grabs - no guarantee of who would win. Repubs need to focus on continuing to slowly bring the grassroots “center” to the right.

I thought that RICO statute charges applied to all criminals.
Even elected and appointed ones.

I see Crony Capitalism more as a business cutting through bureaucratic red tape easier by making donations and getting favors in return. "The cost of doing business," so to speak.

But this was out and out money laundering. I bet this company never even had a valid business plan.
