CHUCK SCHUMER
Two staffers on a Democratic political committee headed by Sen. Chuck Schumer are being investigated by the FBI for an alleged dirty trick — getting a Republican candidate's credit report illegally, officials confirmed yesterday. "We are investigating the matter jointly with the FBI," said a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's office in Washington. Phil Singer, a spokesman for the Schumer-headed Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, said two staffers were instantly suspended — with pay*haha — in July after admitting they obtained the credit report of Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele, who is running for Senate.

Since July? It's near the end of September, and Schumer has known all this time, and hasn't said a word? Meanwhile his staffers were awarded with a paid vacation?
UPDATE: The real irony here is the fact that Chuck Schumer has been very interested in the issue of identity theft...

HARRY REID
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) wrote at least four letters helpful to Indian tribes represented by Jack Abramoff, and the senator's staff regularly had contact with the disgraced lobbyist's partners about legislation affecting other clients. The activities — detailed in billing records and correspondence obtained by Associated Press — are more extensive than previously disclosed.

They occurred over three years as Reid collected about $68,000 in donations from Abramoff's firm, lobbying partners and clients. *note, and helpful letters were written by Reid within 4 days of Abramoff's clients ponying up money to Reid.

Reid also intervened on government matters at least five times in ways helpful to Abramoff's tribal clients, once opposing legislation on the Senate floor and four times sending letters pressing the Bush administration on tribal issues. Reid collected donations about the time of each action. Ethics rules require senators to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest in collecting contributions when they take official acts benefiting donors.

PATRICK (LEAKY) LEAHY
During the 1980s, Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) leaked the Senate Intelligence Committee’s draft report on the Iran-Contra investigation. The draft contained information on CIA intelligence gathering methods. Leahy later resigned from the Committee in disgrace.

But you and I both know that it will end up just disappearing due to lack of posting. The way I see it, anything important and factual will either A. be countered with inane arguments from the left such as "So what... you're ugly" or B. totally ignored because they would much rather concentrate on their "I hate Bush" mantra.

If it doesn't have any slander involved against the US population, military or President, then it just doesn't get addressed here. Nah, they want more lies about killing babies with WP and how there weren't any WMD's to speak of. (LMAO.. even with all the facts stating otherwise - as well as photo-documentation).

The default mode of leftists is they are more spiritually evolved, more compassionate and more caring about women and children. They will point to all the commissions they're on, all the meetings they attend, all the time they spend talking about the issues and just look at their buttons and ribbons they proudly wear to publicize their concern.

But when someone actually stops talking and takes action to rid nations of brutal, murderous tyrants who routinely butchered, raped and tortured women and children, denied them rights within those nations and treated women like chattel then it's:

Bush sucks
Cheney sucks
Rumsfeld sucks
The military sucks
America sucks
jwhop sucks

And now Pid, it's going to be Pid sucks
