For anyone interested, here's an interesting SD political blog.

Randell told Talon News, "He [Kranz] works for me and I'm not going to allow Dave to get into a pissing match with a guy who makes this stuff up."

Sounds like the probe ought to be expanded to include finding if Randell has any ties to Daschle or the Dims.

Puhleese!!! Can't we put this all behind us? I have work to do for my consituents!

Of course that $Million plus house we're building here in D.C. is of "little" consequence. {like me?}

EXCELLENT!The mere fact that"Puff's"seat is in danger DELIGHTS me!!How about the fact that his wife lobbied Congress(on behalf of Boeing)to get DOD to lease(instead of buy)a Shi*Load of 767's to replace ageing USAF tankers.It has become apparent that a much better deal would be to PURCHASE said aircraft and,a much better deal to just upgrade the existing fleet of aircraft.I know that Linda can't "Lobby" old "Puff",but did he vote on this and other Linda related bills???We don't need to "Reform" campaign-finance laws.As BeelzeBubba proved,we just need to ABIDE by them!!If the need for "Reform"is crying out from anywhere,it's this criminal practice called"LOBBYING"!!!!!!!

Sorry about that - the coffee hasn't kicked in yet.

Well, well, well, another crooked newspaper. Imagine that! Bias in the news. Oh my!

"Stop worrying. They will NEVER explore that the dead in Dakota voted for you.
If they do, we will use the stolen FBI files on them, as before."

[George W. Bush]

Not much of a story here yet. Maybe more info will come out later.

I hope so. any muddying of the waters helps to fight his political machine in SD.

[gathersnomoss]

I believe that is a "shouting Dashole" font, right?

[NC Conservative]

South Dakota will vote his ass in again. Plus the dead indians don't know about this when they go vote.

This looks meaty:

[Executive Editor Randell] Beck fueled more controversy during a radio interview on May 22, 2003 when responding to a question about the lobbying activities of Daschle's wife Linda he emphatically stated the Argus Leader "doesn't report on the wives of political candidates." But an investigation indicates otherwise.

The Argus Leader wrote a 1995 editorial critical of Marianne Gingrich, wife of the House Speaker, Republican Newt Gingrich... The newspaper wrote, "The spouses of U.S. leaders should be held to a high standard: Not only should they avoid impropriety, they should avoid all appearances of impropriety."

In 1990, the South Dakota newspaper published a thirty-six-paragraph article about Harriet Pressler, wife of Republican Sen. Larry Pressler...
