top aide to Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., hosted two fundraisers for Democratic lawmakers during the wave elections of 2006 and 2008 at the home in which she lives and which she rents to her boss.

Oh my.
Ping.

I am leaving for Jackson to get shot in the back. If anything needs pinging some who you who always manage to always posts but never ping anyone to a Ms thread try it sometime. It is really not that hard to do.

The McDaniel Camp needs to jump on this like a hungry dog on a ham bone.
I bet Cochran got some big, big points plus-up from the Democratic party for keeping his Democrat traitor executive assistant employed.
There is simply no excuse for this other than Cochran is a frigging Vichy RINO.
Wonder what Miss Kay’s voter registration has been over the years.
senator cochran, sheila jackson lee’s best friend
Well, gollee…ol’ Thad doesn’t mind paying that rent a bit. In fact, she may even give him a discount *wink*. That “till death us do part” is for the Little People.
Rat infil-traitor!
They seem to service each other rather than do what is right for the country, ya think?
Cochran’s not just a RINO, he’s a Democrat In All But Label Only (DIABLO)/ a member of the republican wing of the democrat party.
May Haley Barbour’s choice be permanently removed from elective office.
DIABLO! Love it!
:-)
One big happy family DC.
Have you seen the commercial where it is making a big deal Chris didn’t vote for Haley Barbour? That is funny
