If you can't spin it, ignore it.

IIRC Wildcard lives in the constituency?

That's me, Wildcard is in Darrell Issa's.

That's strange, I thought you lived In LA.  Wasn't that where you showed up on that Frappr map?

I grew up in Cunningham's district and worked for him as an intrn.  I live in LA now where I go to college.  Lewis was thinking of me, I think, when he was trying to figure which member was in CUnningham's district.
No, I had Wildcard down in my mind as being in one of those NW San Diego County cities ... but I'm not sure if all of the area is in CUnningham's district.

This should not even be illegal, much less a source of shame.

You obviously think that bribery should be legal, huh? Not surprising.

Their ideology is inherently pro-bribery.

So what exactly did he do in exchange for these monies? What useless but expensive piece of equipment are US soldiers saddled with thanks to this?

Shouldn't that somehow be the first question on everybody's minds?

Wildcard is in Temecula iirc, which is in NW San Diego County, but not in Cunningham's district.

Didn't you work for Arnold too? You sure love working for corrupt Republicans. I stand against members of the Republican culture of corruption, like you.

I can't wait to see how Fox News spins this one.

I heard they spent only 3 minutes on it.

Funny, back when Democrats were in power, scandals could involve far less than $2.4 million, and the media would spend months reporting on it.

Huh

I really hope you will clear up exactly what you mean by this.

Bribing politicians should be illegal. I thought that post was fairly clear. Even Scoonie understood it.

My intenship with Arnold is still going on, actually.

Should I assume that you'll be the one holding Steve Westly's purse as he gives his concession speech in a year?

Bribing politicians should be illegal.

Couldn't agree more. The politician being bribed and the person doing the bribing both deserve to go down. We at least agree on this much, right?

This should not even be illegal, much less a source of shame.

You are clearly stating that "this" should NOT be illegal. Perhaps you could tell us exactly what "this" is. Even Duke knew accepting bribes was not only illegal but shameful as well.
