Daschle Mute on Argus Leader Link; South Dakota Probe Widens

tommy two tongues has many friends in the state, most of them residing in the slums east of the Missouri River. If Souix Falls and all Indian Reservations, were to sink into the earth, the state would be even more solidly Republican than it already is. A fact the argus liar is well aware of and so in the interest of fairness they have established their present editorial policy.

Linda Daschle's flunkies at the lobbying firm, where she gets $6 million a year selling access to her husband [# from Insight mag as reported in the southdakotapolitics blog], issued a statement and got the NYT and AP to "correct" the story.

The statement said, verbatim, "Linda Hall Daschle does not lobby senators on behalf of her clients."

If it hadn't been a service to a fellow Democrat, the Times and AP would never have fallen for that old trick. If you put your Democrat-parsing skills, so hard-won during the years of Clinton Chicanery, to use, that translates to, "Linda Hall Daschle doesn't lobby the senators -- with whom she might be at a disadvantage. She goes directly to the Senate staffers, who are most vulnerable to the pressure she and hubby put on."

I hope she's saving all that money that she's supposedly making with all her lobbying skill, because when Tommy retires due to ill health (the voters, unlike his love-gerbils at the Argus, being sick of him), zot! Her lobbying skill will have shown a mysterious decline, and she will no longer be able to pull in multi-mils with no heavy lifting.

This is why Democrats have all that concern about poor people. If most of them ever had to stop relying on graft, they would be the poor people.
