Good points, although I still think it will be Hillary/Obama.

"We've gotten donations in the million-dollar range before, but this is by far the biggest," James Kallstrom, chairman and co-founder of the 12-year-old charity, said yesterday in a telephone interview.

A little something for the conspiracy nuts: Jim Kallstrom is the former head of the NYC FBI office, and was lead investigator of the TWA 800 crash.

I’d love to seen Mrs. Casey spend some money to get Al Gore on the ballot as a green party candidate.

The dude looks a little fruity. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

If this incoherent liar/deceiver/propagandist were any fruitier, he'd be a freekin orchard.

"The letter in question is an Oct. 2 two-pager from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to Clear Channel Communications CEO Mark Mays lambasting the syndicate's Rush Limbaugh, who had recently criticized U.S. troops who were against the war in Iraq."

After all this, they still can't get it right.

[gitmo]

Either the democRat senators intentionally lied about Rush or they are too lazy to perform a minimal amount of investigation before attacking private citizens of the United States from the floor of the Senate and with the power and authority of the office of US Senator.

Either way, they should all be removed from office. Now. Not later.

Is that the same Kallstrom that I think it is? (800)

The very same. The Foundation's Web site (mc-lef.org) lists as its chairman James Kallstrom, aide to the governor on NY for anti-terrorism; a little googling reveals that the James Kallstrom who led the TW 800 investigation took that job after retiring from he FBI.

There is SO MUCH to celebrate about this article.

One of the reasons the Post, NTYs etc. are in so much trouble is because of biased articles like this.

I’ll wager this guy couldn’t see the biases even if his life depended on it.

ANOTHER reason to celebrate, ‘cuz this kind of writing will just keep that financial slide going!

Great way to start the weekend, 5 years from now we won’t even miss them.

Forty-one Democratic senators signed the thing, put it in the mail and, really, that should have been the end.

Oh really? Who are you trying to convince the reader or yourself?

What a twit.

Maybe WaPo will edit the article using the drive-by media’s new editing policy: “Lie now. Edit if we get caught.”

[clintonh8r]

He looks like exactly the kind of guy who ould write for the “Style” section....

Frutiy and islamic....no wonder he’s here. In Muslim countries he’d be stoned...and not on weed.

Washington Post: Limbaugh eBay Auction Was 'Petty Bickering'

I wonder just how the editor would have reacted had Reid directed his letter to the chairman of Washington Post?

Would that have been described as "petty bickering", as well?

I didn't know Burt Reynolds had a son?

"It got this kind of money because it represents one of the most outrageous abuses of federal power in modern American history, and that is what makes it a collector's item. This letter that Senator Reid wrote will forever memorialize him as a demagogue."

We have only a few hours, but you get the idea.

Brendan Sullivan, Casey's attorney, did not return calls yesterday.

How pathetic they put in a sarcastic nonsensical line to discredit Rush's statement.

[rod1]

The dems did not think it was the end of it. They asked that Rush’s boss fire him.

The Washington Post should be more concerned period about 41 US senators ganging up on one private citizen. Not exactly what we expect out senators to do. The fact that the RATS lied in doing so is obviously of no conern to the rag’s writers and editors.

[Sooth2222]

...41 United States Senators signing a document indicating that they think the Bill of Rights is just some vexing gibberish should be news, I’d think.

[river rat]

Regardless of how the bib wearing leftists at the Washington Compost try to spin this - they can NOT alter the fact that Dingy Harry Reid will be know throughout eternity as the fool with his own foot in his mouth and Rush’s foot up his ass...

Every time Dingy Harry speaks - he proves it.

It would be funny, except this balmy bastard is a U.S. Senator!
If that doesn’t scare the hell out of you, you aren’t comprehending the significance of the problem!
