Stinking Up The HillThis fishy little tidbit showed up wrapped in the New York Times this morning:F.B.I. Raid Divides G.O.P. Lawmakers and White HouseThe first thing I thought when I heard of the FBI raid on Mr. Jefferson’s office was, “Hmmm. I don’t remember the FBI crashing into any Republican Congressional offices in connection with the Abramoff scandal…” That’s why this little story piqued my interest. It certainly smells like the hold of a crab boat. The Republican Congress objecting to being eclipsed by the Bush Administration’s power grab? Please don't make me laugh. Most likely, this is just some good theatre designed to downplay the obviously partisan skullduggery in play here. “The President has gone too far. We can never let this happen again.” Just in case a Republican congressional office is next on some FBI list. As if. I’m pretty sure that’s something they don’t have to worry about, as long as the criminally partisan Bush Administration draws breath. Mr. “Uniter-not-Divider” strikes again. | +Save/Share | | |
