Limbaugh surrenders on drug charge - US news - Crime & courts | NBC News

He needs the money he makes to keep the young male prostitutes in his neighborhood happy!!!

Thanks.

Jesse Jackson Jr. is serving time.

Jesse Jackson Sr. is not, because he has been caught. YET!

For a party with a supposed shoe-in candidate like Hillary, it's weird that the Progressives are focused on this stuff.

They should be highlighting Hillary stellar record as, er, what was she again? Oh right SecState. And all those accomplishments! Like, er, what did she do?

Oh, what difference does it make?

I've never understood why Oliver North became a right-wing darling. Conservatives make him out to be some kind of innocent victim who got caught up in some little scandal that certainly didn't involve Ronald Reagan in any way.

At the very least Oliver North deserves to be called a traitor to everything that this country is supposed to stand for.

Oliver North was a Marine who followed the lawful orders of those appointed over him, just as his military oath demanded. The fact that you loons didn't like what he did, does not make him a criminal, or a traitor.

Meanwhile, you loons worship a President who has searched out every radical anti-American he could find, and attempted to put them in key government posts.

Moral of the story: Democrats have NEVER done anything wrong.

Weak sauce. DEMS fuck up, too, but they don't go around inviting an entire bevy of ex-cons to highlight their think-tanks.

Need a tissue, perhaps?

 

[Statistikhengst]

Isn't it the Far Whacky Right that is always screaming "we need fresh blood, we need fresh blood"??

And then they trot out Ollie North...

Oh wait, mebbe the Extreme Right is made up of...

VAMPIRES!!!


True Blood: the GOP edition!!!

more blood has been spilled over democratic wars then republican wars by a long shot.

I'd be interested to know exactly what wars you are thinking about. I wasn't aware then when we go to war, only Democrats or only Republicans in the military march into battle.



Hmmmm, my bad.... I guess....

CPAC welcomes the convicted and accused - James Hohmann - POLITICO.com

During last year’s Conservative Political Action Conference, Bernard Kerik was in federal prison, serving time for tax fraud and lying to federal investigators. At this year’s conference, the former New York police commissioner received a warm welcome from CPAC attendees as he spoke about sentencing reform, and Rick Perry even thanked him for his service.

A half-hour earlier, the crowd of conservatives cheered on Oliver North, the Marine at the center of the Iran-Contra scandal, as he attacked President Barack Obama for drawing “phony red lines with a pink crayon.”

Dinesh D’Souza, the filmmaker facing criminal charges over allegedly funneling donations to a Senate campaign, took the stage an hour later to preview his newest movie...

...Scooter Libby, Dick Cheney’s onetime chief of staff, was scheduled to sit on an afternoon panel, seven years and one day after a jury convicted him of perjury, obstructing justice and making false statements to the FBI. But he was a no-show. The topic of the discussion: “What are the big alternative ideas conservatives should present as Obama’s term ends?”...

...Also spotted wandering the halls of CPAC was Tom DeLay, the former House majority leader who was convicted in 2010 on a money-laundering charge. But the conviction was overturned on appeal in September, and it was just announced this week that he will begin writing a weekly column for The Washington Times...

Darrell Issa didn't speak?

Did everyone make sure their cars will still there after the CPAC?

I didn't realize rush was an elected official. marion barry on the other hand ........

and aren't democrats pushing to legalize drugs?

You have a good point about Marion Barry. Only, the point would be stronger if this thread was about Democrats inviting ex-cons to their events...

Which drugs do you mean? Pot?

Well, we Democrats have the ability to walk AND chew gum at the same time. We can juggle more than one ball in the air. It's called multi-tasking. Adults do that sort of stuff.

Tissue, perhaps?

Oh, and we're not focused on it. We are laughing about it. Discernment is your friend!

Well, maybe since the Obama administration is filled with criminals like Holder, Lerner, and Obama himself they figured, why not?

And the Democratic Fund Raising Machine and PAC's will do the same.

Let those with no sin cast the first stone.

Here's a new one for you (Well, maybe it isn't so new but it sure is accurate.)

Let those with no defense attack their accusers.

Many Righties are so unbelievably predictable.

Were this a Left-Wing think tank and they had invited this many ex-cons, Righties would be SCREAMING FROM THE ROOFTOPS LIKE BANSHEES about how godless Dems are, yadayadayada.....

But yes, of course, this is a boon for the Left-Wing advertising machine. I can see the attack ads now.

"Is your city suddenly missing a convicted felon or two?"

(nice music)

"Well, they all went to CPAC!"
