Off With Donk Heads!

Here are a couple more House Democrats who should be drawn and quartered for their sleazy (by their "DeLay" standard) conduct.

[Avowedly Socialist] Represenative Bernard Sanders used campaign donations to pay his wife and stepdaughter more than $150,000 for campaign-related work since 2000, according to records filed with the Federal Election Commission.

Jane O'Meara Sanders, his wife, received $91,020 between 2002 and 2004 for "consultation" and for negotiating the purchase of television and radio time-slots for Sanders' advertisements, according to records and interviews.

Approximately $61,000 of that was "pass through" money that was used to pay media outlets for advertising time, Jane O'Meara Sanders said in an interview. The rest, about $30,000, she kept as payment for her services, she said.

Carina Driscoll, daughter to Jane O'Meara Sanders and stepdaughter to the lawmaker, earned $65,002 in "wages" between 2000 and 2004, campaign records show.

Illegal? No. Against House rules? No. Similar to DeLay hiring his relatives? Absolutely.

Though perhaps not entirely similar, as Rush Limbaugh observes:

Now, something strange about this because I am an expert in the advertising business and agency commissions are anywhere between 15% and 20% and clearly Bernie's wife here took a little bit more off the top than that.

Not much hurling room in the Donk glass house, is there? About all they could say is, "Yes, well, Sanders isn't in a leadership post, and DeLay is, so he should be held to a higher standard."

Well, then, let us turn to this story:

A controversial fundraising committee run by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was slapped with a $21,000 fine by the Federal Election Commission for enabling Pelosi to funnel more than $100,000 in illegal contributions to Democratic candidates in late 2002 as she was vying to become Democratic leader. [my emphasis]

My goodness, nobody has alleged that Tom DeLay has done anything in violation of House ethics rules, much less federal election law. And let us not forget that it is Crazy Nancy herself who is leading the "ethics" lynch mob to get rid of the Hammer. By their very "DeLay" standard, shouldn't Pelosi be dragged to the political guillotine and her severed political head be jammed on a political stake and mounted on the steps of the U.S. Capitol as a stark warning against hypocritical partisan scandalmongering?

You can tell these people don't read the Bible. If they did, they might be more knowledgable about the detrimental optical effects of specks and logs.

Their GOP colleagues should take that log out of their collective eye and beat them unconscious with it.
