It’s the dance that’s sweeping the nation! The Corruption Conga!
Speaking of dancing, there’s a lot of that going on over the Gube’s first sorry six months of leading Nevada into the toilet.
Today we learn that if the Gube’s former campaign manager and the Gube himself says he did a terrific job, well, then the MSM can’t help agreeing.
What exactly are Gibbons’ so-called end-of-session successes, anyway? 1/5th the necessary funds to keep Southern Nevada roads minimally open? Creating a constitutional bottle neck with the "Education First" goofyness? Proposing large funding increases to pet projects while blathering "no new taxes"? That’s fiscal responsibility? Sending Kenny Guinn’s budget to the Legislature without reading it and spending the rest of the Legislature playing catch up?
This is more of that "well, he didn’t throw up," super low expectations crap, isn’t it?
Meanwhile, be sure to read Ralston today, and Geoff Schumacher discovers the kind of folk who vote for Gibbers.
Hey Kids! Can you identify everyone in the corruption conga line?
From left to right: Tom DeLay,Randy "Duke" Cunningham, Lewis "Scooter" Libby,William Jefferson, Gibbers, Lynette Boggs-McDonald, Ted Stevens, Erin Kenny, Gary Miller, Jerry Lewis.
A line to which we can add — Jack Abramoff, David Safavian, Johnnie E. Frazier, J. Steven Griles, Bob Ney, and a few more “players to be named later?” With a few more prosecutions we could have the longest Conga Line ever — longer than any mass of revelers at the Rio Carnival ever imagined?
Bob Ney….from Ohio. Hey! didn’t Brain Krolicki raise tens of thousands of dollars in Ohio when he was thinking of running for the US Senate in 2003? Weren’t several of these contributors subponead, indicted and/or convicted? How many got business out of Krolicki’s office while he was treasurer?
