......Just because someone labels themselves a member of the Tea Party doesn’t mean they don’t have the potential for skimming from the till.

True enough. My point is that the GOP-e has such disdain for Wacko-birds aka conservatives, yet they might be in the market for some true conservatives in order to refresh their GOP brand. It was mostly a snarky comment though, as they're thick as thieves -- protecting their power and privilege.

He knew his financial situation and yet wore the watch, drove the Ferrari, flew on the plane, accepted the stock, paid his income property mortgages with “gifts”, played golf, charged for merchandise/food with his sons, etc. etc. etc — because his wife made him? Poor guy. So weak and willing to please his wife. Really?

It wasn't his fault, his baby mama said no more play time unless she got the goodies.

These excuses are why we hate the demonRATS so much, they use them and get away with it.

The conservatives won't let their reps steal and then try to weasel out of it.

I never really followed lil' bobby, but he sounds like a demonRAT, in character if not in philosophy.

"Can you IMAGINE those McDonnell's? Republicans thinking they can act like Democrats and get away with it!"

"It's ok, darlin' - we get the last laugh! Don't forget, unlike in our party, Republicans eat their own when they do this stuff!"

Good catch.

Mentioning the Clintons, I assumed that ill-gotten gains by political means would immediately come to mind.

Nothing is too good for my little princesses! Even flying them to another little princess’s bachelorette party. Wouldn’t bother me to see them wearing prison garb.

This sounds like McDonnell married Marie Antoinette.

Jeb Bush had a similar problem with his wife.

I suspect if we got an accounting of the bills Michelle Obama rang up, it would be appalling.

Maybe it is time for a never married president.

Well, corruption is corruption, no matter which party is in control. I hope they enjoy their time apart in jail.

cultivated a "friendship" with Virginia pharmaceutical entrepreneur Jonnie Williams

Note to self: Never cultivate friendships with guys who spell their names like used car salesmen/game show hosts.

Been there, done that.

In case you don’t remember, please allow me to mention the name of Pres. James Buchanan — whose bungling helped to lead the USA straight into the War between the States.

FCI Butner?

He’ll certainly be in “good company” — maybe he can bunk with Bernie Madoff or Jonathan Pollard!

What you say is true.

How to find truly ethical people is certainly a challenge and historically has always been a challenge. This is universal, we in the USA assume our corrupt politicians are unique. In comparison our’s are mostly little Angels.

We have had several Presidents who were widowers during their time in office, and one who was a bachelor when elected but who married while President (Grover Cleveland).

James Buchanan, the only never-married President, is ranked near the bottom--possibly the worst President before Jimmy Carter. What lesson should be drawn from that is unclear.

Never elect a never-married President>
Never elect a homosexual President?
Never elect a Pennsylvania native as President?
Never elect a former Secretary of State as President?
Never elect a Democrat as President?
All of the above?
