i'm shocked.

while i would love to hear about this in the news... i doubt i will.

To save people time... yes Clinton and McCain have links to Abramoff's lobbying firm.

To make this more fun, the firm has been fined for laundering campaign donations from foreign parties.

i can't imagine hsu you're talking about

But but but Obama is like all the other politicians!!

burndtdan: i'm shocked.

If the news reports this, it means they're in the tank for Obama. Truth and reality have no bearing on what's "fair."

I really, really hope Obama's people find some way to smoothly pick this up. But from the media's and Clinton's perspective, even mentioning it means Obama is engaging in dirty politics. Shame on him.

8pm on MSNBC. Count on it.

i think olbermann needs to do a special comment to the news media.

hah, pre-empted me

Jubeebee: Truth and reality have no bearing on what's "fair."

And what's "fair" has no bearing on accurate and respectable news reporting.

But but god damn America!

Tastes Like Chicken: And what's "fair" has no bearing on accurate and respectable news reporting.

I disagree. If the reporting is accurate and respectable, it will be fair.

Code_Archeologist: To save people time... yes Clinton and McCain have links to Abramoff's lobbying firm.

Of course he was laundering money. How else are you supposed to get Ben Franklin snuggly soft?

Be careful not to make Hillary angry.

You wouldn't like her when she's angry.

Chuck Wagon: I disagree. If the reporting is accurate and respectable, it will be fair.

I guess it depends on which definition of fair you're going by. I say technically you're right, but by the euphemistic garbage definition most news organizations go by the whole thing is a big ole crock of shiat. I believe our very own Drew Curtis called it "Equal Time For Nutjobs" in his book. Fair does not equate to giving airtime to a bunch of sociopathic liars.

sasquatchologist: Yet here you are, quoting the Gospel Of Drew Curtis as authority.

As I walk through the valley in the shadow of snark...

Luckily for Montana it helped bring down that arrogant asshat Burns. Thats one guy that needs to go to jail.

hillbillypharmacist: But but god damn America!

I came here to say this.

But some back woods drug dealer beat me to it. ;)

I'd be surprised if this hits the news big time. Not because of any pandering to HRC, but there's tons of this stuff and it's never reported. I blame the American people for this, because if this sort of scandal got huge ratings, it would be all over everything.

The people have already voted. Sex, American Idol, and Britney constitute our only interests. Political financing? Not so much.

This is something linked at the Daily Kos?
Yeah, I'll be taking it with a HUGE grain of salt for now.

As much as I would love to cackle in glee at evidence of further Hillary shenanigans... Even if they aren't the primary source, they're all too eager to pass along shady info over there. Remeber the story last year they were floating based on a conversation that someone had told them that they knew someone who had supposedly overheard it at a coffee shop?

Daily Kos is about as trustworthy as an ex-BF with a grudge and a memory card full of nude photos.

Hear, hear. He'd been a blight on Montana politics for far too long.

2 out of 3 eh? I hear the beginnings of a new meme already...

"but, but... Resko!"

/sigh... it'll probably work too

cameroncrazy1984: But but but Obama is like all the other politicians!!

Perhaps because Obama was a backburner IL State Senator at the time. He has Rezko to deal with. And Hsu is who?

You guys, you're completely missing out on the important question here, which is:

Did Abramoff ever give Obama advice concerning personal residential real estate purchases? That's what the country truly wants to know.

Tallgordon: You guys, you're completely missing out on the important question here, which is:

The sad thing is that should this get national coverage, the Clinton campaign will try to spin it back at Obama, and attempt to make him prove that he doesn't have any connections to Abramoff.

God, i hope she asks that... Obama could be like:

"shoot... you got the guys number.Call him up and ask!"

clgrin: God, i hope she asks that... Obama could be like:

HAHAHAHA. I forgot for a moment about Obama's Jedi like political abilities. I'll bet the sound of Hillary's brain snapping will be heard in Tokyo.

Yup. Too dry. Too complicated.

Also, I'm not even what is there.

The main question seems to be "Why would a GOP lobbying firm give money to Clinton?"

My answer: In case she wins.

bbbbbut his pastor pointed out that the War on Drugs has a racial bias and that the CIA funded the groups that attacked us on 9/11. This is far more important.

Let's see her bring up Rezko again...

You'd think a land deal to expand a guy's yard would not get as much scrunity from the people who were investigated for the Whitewater deal. But then you'd be underestimating that HRC is entitled to the presidency, since it's her turn.

/somewhere B. Hoosayn Obama is popping his collar and toasting Kanye

rufus-t-firefly: Let's see her bring up Rezko again...


Oh, that'll be easy;

HRC: "blah,blah,blah... Resko... shady...untrustworthy"

BHO: "What? He helped me with a house. You took money from Abramoff..."

HRC: "ZOMG what's with the negative attacks?!?!?! Why is my coverage so biased!?!?@#@!#?!@#21#??!

Stupid itallics

The Clinton campaign is funded DIRECTLY by Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and a hole host of other sundry foreign interests. Sorry, Hillary, your husband can wander around overseas and collect millions of dollars. You can even file joint tax returns. However, if you use this big pile of cash to lend your campaign for president money (with interest), you are planning to be a president that represents foreign countries and NOT American interests. Don't think your husband's blatant corruption doesn't reflect on you.

My grandma was Itallic, so knock it off.

I thought her relationships with all of these countries were a positive and somehow proved that Obama could not be Commander in Cheif. I am curious why she is afraid to make all of this public. It should only help her. Right?

Kos!?!?! I mean really... Kos?!?!

I think this needs to be addended - "Equal time for their nutjobs"

Mike Gravel and Ron Paul?

I knew it!

I'll take "Things that will never be picked up by CNN, NBC, FOX, etc," for $500, Alex.

From now on, I will accept no scandal that is less than tripartisan.

TFA: "Abramoff's firm... is now a major donor to HRC's presidential campaign... In a odd coincidence, GOP presidential candidate Sen. John McCain chaired the Senate Committee which investigated Abramoff."

I like that. Analogy: this criminal murdered a woman, this cop investigated the woman's murder, therefore they're both "linked to violent crime".

As if that exact same thing hasn't been applied to Obama by the Clinton campaign numerous times.

Mine might include "Plenty of cash to go around! We're giving it away!"

You're right, though. The "why" is a good question. Near as I can figure, it's because Hillary would accept it.

Whodat: Kos!?!?! I mean really... Kos?!?!

Where have you been? Fark has been linking to Kos for years now.
