RTFA subby, he's not a Senator.

pgh9fan: RTFA subby, he's not a Senator.

Subby probably didn't have enough r's remaining for the word 'representative'.


_{/Waiting for Faux News to label him (D-AZ).}

He only did this because he's a republican.

FACT.

Inaccurate or not, I LOL'ed.

1 down, 99 to go

I was completely expecting to get Rick Rolled.

He is one of the biggest dirt bag politicians we have seen in Arizona and that is saying a lot considering we have had Mecham, Symington and Arpiio

Subby:

FLAIL

/(and Newsflash? Really?)

I submitted this with a more representative headline.

I'll bet he feels rolled.

Bomp bomp bomp... another one bites the dust!

mmm... pancake: 1 down, 99 434 to go

ftfy

Not in the R's, eh?

That's not what your mother said last night.

don't forget McCain!

Truth be told, he is (was?) the most liberal GOP in the house.

Oh right, because if someone did something bad, it MUST be because they are a closet liberal. Was Mark Foley a liberal?

Fox News will do their part to eliminate the letter R shortage caused by Renzi; they'll swiftly change him to D-AZ and two birds with one stone, right?

Just a second! He's a republican and wasn't caught blowing someone? He must not be conservative or Christian.

father of 12???

quality voters elect quality politicians

If he had a D behind his name he'd be fine, all he'd have to do is keep the money in his freezer.

This has been a long time coming, he barely won in 2006 and the charges were hanging over his head then.

If he drops out of the general in time, the R's will still win the district.

/pet project of mine

"Amateur! Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiit!"

And to think, he was elected on a platform promising never to let us down, give us up. :(

Don't worry, he'll be a Democrat by the time he gets to fox news.

RadioAaron: Not in the R's, eh?

That's not what your mother said last night.

Damn you Trebeck

Meh, these land deals are seemingly common in Arizona on both sides of the political spectrum. Rep Gabby Giffords (D-Az) has a nice cushy piece of land that the government took a three year lease (at around 1 million) on. Tucson isn't even utilizing said piece of land.

With so much Federal Land these types of deals happen quite a bit around here.

A REPUBLICAN?????

CORRUPT?????

I'M SHOCKED!!!!!


/Not really

Hogging the letter R, holy crap yeah. His wife's name is Roberta and they have 12 children whose names all start with R. I went to high school with his daughters Rochelle and Regina.

bheilig: And to think, he was elected on a platform promising never to let us down, give us up. :(

Do you think that any of the Republicans remember the "Contract with America". You know, that lie that the repub voters took as a fact. That is one of the many reasons that all Republicans need to be derided. They present themselves as the party of morals, financial responsibility and God, but turn out to not care about any of those things. It is only the undeniably, uncorrectably stupid that still believe those three principles ever existed.

Any group that has to advertise their moral code on a piece of paper is just indicating the principles that they will avoid or abuse. Sort of like "fair and balanced".

Just for their benefit, the last person in class to finally understand is not conservative, that person is the stupidest one in the class.

You forgot J.D. Hayworth...

He is an Arizona for McCain campaign co-chair. (new window)

Oops -- sorry, wrong link. Well, not wrong exactly, but a click saved is a penny earned, or whatever.

Here. (new window)

Walt_Jizzney: You forgot J.D. Hayworth...

His biatch fit on election night was awesome. "Count all the votes- all of them! I won't concede until all are counted." For days he hid from the media and public. The votes were counted. Buh bye.

Now he's a talk show host on a local radio station.

This Arizonan says, "Good riddance to bad rubbish."

Fark'n crook!

It was only a matter of time for the indictments to be handed down. I didn't expect that many & that includes the issue with the FEC.

/At least he has a Presidential Pardon to look forward to.

I'm glad that people are getting indicted over shady land deals... Perhaps we should ask Harry Reid and the Clinton's when they will be indicted.

Are their any Republican Congressmen left who have not either been indicted or uncloseted or both?

randomjsa: I'm glad that people are getting indicted over shady land deals... Perhaps we should ask Harry Reid and the Clinton's when they will be indicted.

You're kidding right?

Ooh, I like the threads where we catch republicans in wrong-doing shenanigans, because we get to BRING THE OUTRAGE!!!


The democrats are crooks threads are boring. Just a bunch of "meh, both sides do it."

coolbeans56: This has been a long time coming, he barely won in 2006 and the charges were hanging over his head then.

He had already said he wasn't going to run for re-election.

Didn't they try that already?

Oh yeah, they did.

Never has America needed Remo Williams & Chiun more and more
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Destroyer (pops)

Background

The series is about Remo Williams, a Newark cop framed for a crime and sentenced to death. His death is faked by the government so he can be trained as an assassin for CURE, a secret organization set up by President Kennedy to defend the country by working outside the bounds of the Constitution. The sitting US President and the head of CURE were initially the only other people that know about the organization. (Over the years this circle of people has increased slightly.) The head of CURE is Harold Smith, a man selected by the President because of his brilliant mind but more importantly, because of his integrity. Smith was a former law instructor at Yale and served in the Office of Strategic Services during World War II.

Remo's trainer is Chiun, a deadly assassin and the last Master of Sinanju. Over the years, Remo and Chiun's relationship has transformed from student-teacher to son-father. It's also been discovered over the years that Remo is the avatar of Shiva, as prophesied in the legends of Sinanju. In 1985, a companion book entitled Inside Sinanju was published. This was a revised and updated book that was formerly titled The Assassin's Handbook. Most of the book is written in the first person of "Chiun". It covers anecdotes as well as information on the various villains and story arcs from the series.

Although the series settled down into its formula by around the third book, there are many elements which are not present in the first book, Created, The Destroyer. Many of these have, however, been "retconned" into later stories about the early days of Remo's training. In the first book, the word Sinanju is not used at all to describe the martial arts that Chiun teaches Remo. Zen, karate, aikido and judo are used instead. Remo has many trainers for other aspects of being an undercover operative, he is taught to use different types of firearms, and trained in close-quarters assassination. He smokes tobacco, drinks alcohol, and eats red meat, all activities that would later prove harmful or impossible as his body became changed by the harsh Sinanju training regime. Remo uses a gun to shoot somebody, although it is only to wound, and all his actual kills are hand-to-hand. He does make a conscious choice not to use weapons, after a fight in which he kills a man who had been pointing a gun at him. He realizes that Chiun never carried a gun and is over 70, whereas MacCleary, who had told him to always carry a gun, is dead. The retelling of Remo's origin in the story "The Day Remo Died" in The Assassin's Handbook and in Destroyer #120-121 square his origin more fully with later developments.

Chiun is a minor supporting character who appears only briefly in this book in an early training sequence, and is not referred to again. Much of the humour that comes in the later books from the relationship between Remo and Chiun is correspondingly absent. The book also lacks the 'signature' touch, in that the first line of chapter two does not start with the words: 'His name was Remo'.

I forgot to mention the firing of Attorney Paul Charlton, who started the investigation into this land-swap deal. I'm sure if they were to dig deep enough, they could find more dirty deals.

A politician, who's gone corrupt?

You don't say.

Who would have ever thought of a politician using their office for illegal personal gains?

bheilig: And to think, he was elected on a platform promising never to let us down, give us up. :(

And then he ran around and deserted you.

Bonus: The Federal Prosecutor who oversaw this case was one of the ones fired by Gonzalez in the scandal a few months back.
