By Any Means Necessary
From Citizens for Responsibilty and Ethics in Washington(CREW):

The GOP has an image problem. A dozen years of Republican control in DC left many in the party complacent and open to the types of activities that give politics a dirty name. Of the 25 most corrupt members of Congress, 21 are Republicans, according to the nonpartisan watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), and included in that list is Republican Rep. Jerry Lewis.

Lewis' likely malfeasance is unfortunate. At a time when California is decently positioned to have a fairer shake at federal monies, Lewis, along with fellow "under ongoing investigation" Cali buddies Rep. John Doolittle and Rep. Ken Calvert is tainted by the stench of bribery.

But Shawn Steel, FlashReport contributor and former chairman of the California Republican Party, will hear nothing of it. In a piece entitled "Blood Sport: Slamming Jerry Lewis," Steel blames his party's corruption conundrum on, who else, the Democrats! Oh, and Vladimir Lenin makes a guest appearance:

"Democrats will do anything to get and maintain power. After all, Lenin wasn't too good a revolutionary. His specialty, once he took power, was to create a ruthless system for permanent power at any cost. Democrats hope to do the same in 2008. By any means necessary, get more senate and house seats."

The stench of desperation in this post reeks more than the mold and rat infested rooms at Walter Reed Army Medical Center under Bush's watch. The zig zag from Republican corruption to Democratic power lust to the first communist dictator of the Soviet Union is just surreal, and shows just how far some of the more scrupulous GOPers will go to deflect attention away from some of their entourage's very real ethics problems.

But if Steel wants to discuss the creation of "a ruthless system for permanent power at any cost," he need look no further than his own party. Let's review some recent history:

Which party was it again that redistricted away five Democrat-held Congressional seats in Texas, in a way that Justice Department lawyers concluded violated the Voting Rights Act?

And which party was it again that tried to suppress the black vote in Florida in preparation for a hotly contested presidential race in 2004? Here's a hint: the governor with oversight was President Bush's brother.

And in that same election, which party's donor class funded a well-publicized smear campaign against the military service credentials of the only candidate in the race to have actually fought for his country -- with ads so outrageous that even Republican Senator John McCain called them "dishonest and dishonorable"? Tip: while Dubya "partied and dated with gusto, dabbled half-heartedly in business and politics, and flew jets part time," Senator John Kerry was dodging bullets in Tran Thoi.

And which party persistently manipulates wedge issues -- including the relentless demonization of law-abiding gays -- to distract the public from issues that actually, you know, impact us, like suppressing voter rights?

If you guessed Republicans, you'd be correct. But don't tell that to Shawn Steel. He's been reading from the Bolshevik Revolution playbook for so long, that he forgot which side he was on

Of course, this discussion has strayed from the wonderous "culture of corruption" in DC to the occupaiton of Iraq.

Just a little something to keep everyone on their toes: The "DC Madam" released her phone records (link may be "farked" i.e. overloaded). And the politicians have already started falling. No mention yet on where he plans on going to rehab..... ([Edit] Oh yea, and he voted to "protect marriage".)

[More Edits] June 25, 2007 -
(Washington, D.C.) – U.S. Sen. David Vitter last week authored a letter to the chairman and ranking member of the U.S. Senate Finance Committee expressing support for reauthorization of the Title V Abstinence Education Program of the Social Security Act. Twelve senators joined Vitter in writing in support of the program.

“This a valuable program with proven results, but it is nearing its expiration. We must reauthorize this program so we can continue the incredible strides we have made in teaching teens about both risk avoidance and protecting themselves from potential abuse,” Vitter said.

[Bonus Edits] Asked by an interviewer in 2000 whether she could forgive her husband if she learned he'd had an extramarital affair, as Hillary Clinton and Bob Livingston's wife had done, Wendy Vitter told the Times-Picayune: "I'm a lot more like Lorena Bobbitt than Hillary. If he does something like that, I'm walking away with one thing, and it's not alimony, trust me."

[Double Secret Bonus] Seems the good Senator was accused of hiring a prostitute in 2004. His response? "(I)t's obviously politically motivated."

That Dan Abrams looks like a deer in the headlights, eh? My dog Chewy would look more at home in front of the camera and certainly his timing is better. Abrams puts the lead in balloon.

And the jokes have started already.....

"If my number shows up, it's because one of my friends stole my phone one night. (Yea. That's the ticket. My friends stole my phone.)"

"What a surprise that the DC Madams' website "went down"."

"Farked like a Georgetown co-ed paying her way through law school"

"We can start trading them like Pokemans!"

"For a good time call the following numbers ..."

"On the plus side, Bill O'Reilly has a new phenomenon to talk about: Gangs of people going around stealing cell phones and using them to solicit call girls."

"I'm pretty sure most of the list can be found here "

"Baby, I just mis-dialed 11 times. The other 34 calls were me apologizing for the inconvenience that my mis-dials had caused."

"Wait, this isn't the numbers of the hookers! It's the numbers of the johns! I don't want this!"

"Jesus! People are CALLING the numbers?!??1 "Hi! Would you have any explanation for why your number would be on the D.C. madame's list?" "What?!!? No!" "I'm sorry. Can I speak to your husband?" "

"Sean Hannity was nearly sobbing one night on Fox when it seemed that this list was close to release. I've got a C-note for the first person who finds his number."

"Hey man, I thought it was a law office! Then when I got farked, I figured they were just doing to me literally what they usually do to me figuratively! It is the honesty that kept me coming back."

"You know, things like this really bring a tear to my eye. This is how the internet is supposed to work. These numbers were released a couple hours ago, and by this time tomorrow, there will be a neatly-formated list of all her clients, broken down by party-affiliation, job, income, and whether they prefer their muff shaved or au naturale. Al Gore is so proud of all of us."

"There's gonna be a lot of changed phone numbers tomorrow."

"Actually, I bet there will be a lot of cell phones ringing in dumpsters around the DC area tomorrow."

"DO NOT call these numbers. These people are PISSED.

You got a nose chuckle from me for that one. I wonder how many other news-dump type sites are working on cracking this right now. Add that up with the loners with too much time and know-how on their hands and you can bet there are some angry folks out there."

"At 11:15 Eastern time, you know there's some angry wives picking up the phones while in bed.. Man, this gets better and better."

"I like what is transpiring across the intarweb tubes with this right now. This is a good example of why it's a bad idea to f--k with that nerdy, smart kid in high school."

"I love it when these guys apologize only after they get caught. How sincere of them."

"I'm comfortable with one Sean Hannity for three low-level Democrats. Bill O'Reilly's already been there, done that. Worth no Democrat. Karl Rove for 2 Democrats. A male prostitute? 4 Democrats. Bush? Meh. Limbaugh? Two baby. Two Dems"

"I predict a terror alert tomorrow."

"Politicians and Hollywood knew the rules: "Never get caught with a live boy or a dead girl in your bed." "

"I predict a suicide before this is all over with."

"Lest you forget, Charlie Sheen came forward as one of Heidi Fleiss's clients. As he said "I don't pay them for sex, I pay them to leave when we're done". "



There's also a debate as to which name will be better to see on the list: Santorum or Delay. Plenty of others are rooting for Hillary's name to show up.

"Sheehan trying to sell her lot in crawford but the dirt she left is to dirty with crap and the clean up cost to much."

Sounds like prime land for my Dick....Cheney and there is Bush close by.

To get back to the subject,. Like the two guys watching the western movie, Isn't this movie over yet? It can't last much longer, just about everybodies dead. At the present count  of  100 a day how long is it going to take the insurgents to kill everybody  in Iraq? Of course ,when  they do, as Bush says, they're going to be over here......Let us pray.

Alright, alright...... I know this isn't a "DC" scandal, but sweet jebus.....

"A tearful Florida Rep. Bob Allen said Thursday that he is not guilty of soliciting an undercover male officer for sex and had no intention of resigning his House seat.

"Police arrested Allen Wednesday afternoon at a Titusville park bathroom after officials said he offered to perform oral sex on an undercover officer and to pay the officer $20 for the opportunity. He faces one charge of solicitation, a second-degree misdemeanor, and posted $500 bond later Wednesday and was released from the Brevard County jail."

Well, I guess we know at least one politician's name and number we won't be finding on the "DC madam"'s phone records.....

I just, for the life of me, can't figure out what his defense will be. "I thought the guy's penis had just been bitten by a poisonous snake, so I was offering to suck the poison out....... for $20." Short of the cop lying, what could he have possibly said that could have been misconstrued to mean he wanted to pay $20 to blow him?

Perhaps Faux News is correct, and teh ghey is contagious. Perhaps he forgot to wash his hands after using the Florida Republican Party's restroom. (There seems to be a good amount of ghey down there Foleycough>.) Don't forget to use soap and hot water, folks.....

(Spam code: OFHIM. I swear to god folks, I can't make this kind of thing up, I'm not that clever.....)

These guys from the family values party sure know how to party don't they? Damn...its sad how screwed up they are Mattloch.

C'mon, what's going to top Vitter in diapers?  Seriously, I thought Foley had kinda showed us how screwed up these guys were.  Now there's a Republican who's going to hooker to have them change his diaper?  All I can say is the bar is pretty high now.

After pedophilia and diaper fetishes, all that's left is incest and necrophilia.  Scooter already wrote a novel with bestiality, so they got that angle too.
