ON Oct. 11, 1991, I testified about my experience as an employee of Clarence Thomas’s at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

I stand by my testimony.

Have to say, with everything that has been coming out, Anita Hill looks more credible at every turn, and Clarence Thomas looks like someone who should have never been nominated to the court.

"the question is, Were you with the kids or were you not?"

Charley is dead on the ball on this one. They've got a solid case and the right message. It'll be interesting to watch and see how the White House and Faux News try to re-spin this one into something else.

Well, Mandela is dead, because Saddam Hussein killed all the Mandelas.

Ummmm... I'm not even sure what to say about this disconnect from reality. Oh wait, yes I am. He clearly has no connection to the real world and has demonstrated clear incapacity to execute his office. Can we now impeach him and get on with something approaching a rational government again?

DeDona responded: "Unfortunately, under the current regime, the view within INV [the office of investigations] is to keep working the BS cases within the beltway, and let us not rock the boat with more significant investigations."

The letter also said that Krongard's actions have resulted in a "dysfunctional office environment in which you routinely berate and belittle personnel, show contempt for the abilities of career government professionals and cause the staff to fear coming to work." The letter said high personnel turnover has left the office with many senior-level vacancies and only seven of 27 investigator positions filled.

And it seems the partisan hackery goes into the Inspector General's office at the State Department.

You know, I'm sure there are Republicans out there with some kind of integrity, but where are they? Why aren't they screaming about the sheer criminality that the Bush kleptocracy is pulling on this country?

The undercover detective expressed concern about physical injury to the 5-year-old girl as a result of the sexual activity. Detectives said Atchison responded, " I am always gentle and loving; not to worry, no damage ever, no rough stuff ever. I only like it soft and nice."

The undercover detective asked how Atchison can be certain of no injury. He responded, "Just gotta go slow and very easy. I've done it plenty," according to detectives.

I don't get it? Why did Gonzo set up a porn task force when it's really kiddie porn that gets his guys going?

Federal Prosecutor Arrested In Child Sex Sting - Local News Story - WDIV Detroit

When tourists ask for the bathroom in the Minneapolis airport lately, it's usually not because they have to go.

It's because they want to see the stall made famous by U.S. Sen. Larry Craig's arrest in a sex sting.

"It's become a tourist attraction,"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

The remodeling work in summer and fall 2000 more than doubled the size of the house, a four-bedroom structure that is Stevens' official residence in Alaska.

Stevens has said while the contracting bills were first sent to Veco for accuracy checks, he paid all bills on the home that he received.

So if they didn't send the bill...

It's called bribery. I don't care how you parse it, it was a bribe given, and a bribe received. Senator Stevens from the Great State of Alaska? Come on down, you're the next contestant on the Price is Jail.

Michael Flory, 33, of Jackson, Mich., told a Cuyahoga County Common Pleas judge that his humiliation and self-destruction should be punishment enough for his guilty plea to a sexual- battery charge.

Judge Peter Corrigan couldn't have disagreed more.

Gotta side with the judge on this one.

The woman and Assistant County Prosecutor Carol Skutnik said Flory and his friends later executed a campaign of Internet postings and whispers within the state GOP, accusing the victim of loose morals and character assassination.

I also find this part of it particularly offensive, but hey, it's the same way they run elections, so why not?

"I would like to get together with you and show this to you and appeal to you as a brother and sister in Christ. You didn't give me that opportunity but I am happy to overlook that and deal with you on that level because I think that is the right thing to do and show you where you made a blatant, wrong statement.

"Now there are consequences to this kind of thing, but I would like to work with you in a way that is best for everyone here concerned.

Just when I thought things couldn't get any more screwed up for the GOP, one of their Congressmen apparently thinks he needs to get Biblical on someone's ass.

This should prompt an amusing counter statement from Mr. Lamborn.

In a February 2004 letter (pdf), the lobbyists told then-HHS Secretary Tommy G. Thompson they were "grateful" for his staff's intervention to stop health officials from "scaring expectant mothers into breast-feeding," and asked for help in scaling back more of the ads.

Good grief, the Bushies aren't even letting babies have the boobs? Go away Bushies!
