Curmudgeonly & Skeptical

“Suicidal glory is the luxury of the irresponsible.
We're not giving up. We're waiting for a better opportunity to win.”

" I don't think I've ever met a Liberal whom I didn't like on a personal basis. That said, if your goal is to change minds and influence people, it's probably not a good idea to begin by asserting that virtually all elected Democrats are liars. But what the hell."

Renaissance Democrat

I am indebted to -- no, the entire free world is indebted to Sweetness & Light blog for remembering. Remembering that brave, respected Vietnam war hero turned Democrat, Jack Murtha, was one of the crooks snagged during an FBI sting operation known as ABSCAM. (There will be no more ABSCAMS, because a democrat controlled congress retaliated. They cut the FBI's budget, forcing agents to drive cars from Rent-a-Wreck, until the agency promised to never again investigate a congressman).

Abscam Scandal

GROUP

Name Occupation Birth Death Known for

John W. Jenrette, Jr. Politician 9-May-1936 Congressman snagged in ABSCAM

Richard Kelly Politician 31-Jul-1924 22-Aug-2005 Congressman snagged in ABSCAM sting

Robert Luskin Attorney 21-Jan-1950 Karl Rove's lawyer

Pete Williams Politician 10-Dec-1919 17-Nov-2001 US Senator snagged in ABSCAM

I learned something else too.

"... The perps (one Senator, six Representatives.) were all but one Democrats. Oddly enough, the lone Republican, Richard Kelly, is the one we always hear about — as sticking $25,000 down his pants.
"Some sites, like the laughable "History Channel" (owned by Disney*) even go so far as to claim that Senator Williams was a Republican. That is a lie. He was a Democrat. In fact, he was the first Democrat from New Jersey to be re-elected for four terms."

*And presenting a version of history acceptable to its ABC news division

This friends was revelation, because I too was convinced that Williams had been a Republican. In fact, I Googled him up in order to prove it. I was wrong, which demonstrates again the damage done when "reputable" news agencies (or teachers), either by design, or through negligence, dispense false information. What is not false in this Jack Murtha saga, that the media have foisted on us, is that Murtha is, and has been for some time, a moral reprobate. A true renaissance democrat.
