A minor scandal? Or a major scandal-in-waiting?

[Pepperbelly]

This is the kind of thing, like so many mines in these rat-bastards' way, that could blow right up in all the BFEE's faces. Check out this snippet and peruse the link:

Norquist has not responded to inquiries about using the White House as a fundraiser. It is, however, a regular ATR practice to invite state legislators and tribal leaders who have supported ATR anti-tax initiatives to the White House for a personal thank-you from the President. A source at ATR said no money is ever accepted from participants in these events. The $25,000 check from the Coushattas suggests that, at least in this instance, Norquist’s organization made an exception. The $75,000 collected from the Mississippi Choctaws and two corporate sponsors mentioned in Abramoff’s e-mail suggests there were other exceptions. Norquist recently wrote to the tribes who paid to attend White House meetings. His story regarding that event is also evolving. The contributions, he told tribal leaders in letters that went out in May, were in no way related to any White House event. That doesn’t square with the paper trail Abramoff and Norquist left behind, which makes it evident that they were selling access to the President.

1. it would be so lovely if Norquist was indicted, convicted and sentenced

to serve his time out at a farm prison, tending barnyard animals.

2. Hmmm, Abramof's name keeps popping up, doesn't it?

One wonders just how key he is to the neocon/corproate/Pentagon establishment.

Wouldn't you love to get him drunk and listen to him sing?

3. You realize that within the article ...

it notes that the paper trail leads to Norquist actually billing for face time with the Bonehead.

Would anyone truly believe that the BFEE wouldn't get a piece of the check? Grover "Pimp Daddy" Norquist. Ain't that grand?

4. And the GOPers staged a hissyfit inquiry over Clinton's coffees.

Staged being the operative word.

5. No surprise that norquist and

abramoff are doing this..the surprise is that they got caught.

6. they just beat the Gary Hart Gold Standard

of "go ahead and follow me" arrogance?

Thank you thank you thank you to those brave reporters who did follow those Pukkke bastards and caught em with their pants down in the girl's lav.
