BOO!

Former Republican press secretary and current Political Director at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics, Jennifer Donahue:
News today of House ethics investigators looking into dozens of members and staffers is a huge news bomb that will effect everything that happens between now and the 2010 election.

...It may not have an electoral outcome that is measurable in 2010, or it may.

Leaving aside the non-analysis for a minute: it is really interesting how the Villagers automatically skip past the Abramhoff et Alii Culture of Corruption 21st century era and dive straight into the Gingrich glory days.  That pre-internet, cable news hey-day, Lewinsky era must have been fun times for the gatekeepers.

Alternate Title:  My Repeated Attempt to Marginalize the Popular Public Option Having Failed, Here's a New Story to Create a "Dems in Trouble 2010" Narrative.

Dean Barker :: BOO!

Did she forget to mention that Paul Hodes was in the lead in demanding an investigation?. (4.00 / 3)

Did she muse about how former Republican Senator John E Sununu is number five on the list of all time recipients of contributions from the PMA defense lobby group that is at the heart of this?

Did she wonder if perhaps earmarks went the other way?

Maybe next time she can spare a few electrons to share her thoughts on these questions.

"But, in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope." Si se puede. Yes we can.  


She's not a very affective writer n/t (4.00 / 5)


Now that's what I call "bipartisanship" (4.00 / 2)
