Capital Powerball: Scandals Grease Washington's Wheels
American Thinker ^ | Clarice Feldman

After running an errand at the Courthouse, I decided to pop into the Barrister Bar and Bistro for a quick bite. The place was packed and Charlie, the maitre d', shrugged his shoulders apologetically. "There's a huge party here this afternoon, but I can seat you at the bar if you don't mind."

I didn't mind and was happy to see that my favorite bartender, Joe, was at work, I pulled out USA Today and read until he was free: "After February 2010, the IRS didn't approve a single Tea Party tax-exempt application until spring 2012, although it approved dozens of comparable applications from liberal groups." Some coincidence, I thought. Just after Citizens United, the President's outrageous temper tantrum about it at the State of the Union address, his constant demonizing of his opponents, the tea party in particular, and demands by key Democrats including Senators Baucus, Franken, Schumer, Reid, and Levin that the applications for 501(c)(4) status by the president's opponents be subject to harsh scrutiny.

"Place is jammed. I've never seen it so packed. What's up?" I asked as Joe placed my vodka tonic in front of me. "Looks like every former U.S. Attorney in town is here."

He pressed in closer so that he wouldn't be overheard.
"Celebration of the scandals. They are about to make more money defending these clowns than they ever dreamed of. Second terms are always more lucrative for them than first, but this is the ultimate jackpot. Like winning the Powerball." ........

Read it all, and don't miss the comments. My favourite was FeralCat:

""I see seven -- probably Petraeus, Clinton, Rice, Donilon, Brennan, Nuland, Rhodes. And the blue badge?" I asked, sipping the drink."

You sip your drink and tell those lawyer fellows not to bother. I'm sending a telegram to Josh Randall

I have to laugh my butt off listening to liberals like Bob Bekel making believe that the president doesn’t know all the evil that surrounds him. What did he know and when did he know it doesn’t apply to obummer according to these useful tools. But I say, either Zero is the most corrupt man alive or the stupidest - take your pick Bekel!

"I have to laugh my butt off listening to liberals like Bob Bekel making believe that the president doesn’t know all the evil that surrounds him."

This was a refrain heard often in the gulags. "If Stalin only knew." The inmates believed that Stalin would straighten things out if he "only knew." Of course, he was the cause of their suffering, and the elite knew it. Bekel just spins the elite line. These people are despicable.

B-HO is evil. He is the anti-Christ’s cousin.
