And you call yourself a conservative?

Our quote of the day"I've never read the Bible cover to cover; maybe I should have."-Sen. Rick "Man on Dog" Santorum, New York Times Magazine, 5/22 issue.

The next most endangered GOP Senator this cycle is Conrad Burns of Montana, who "led all 535 members" in donations from Jack Abramoff and the tribes, "netting at least" $136K from '01-'04. As Bureau of Indian Affairs budget panel head, Burns "had a say" in the funding to tribal casinos. Yet he screwed over tribes in his home state over those represented by Abramoff.

The second highest recipient was Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-RI) with $115K and then Rep. Bob Ney (R-OH), with $56K. So that's why I hate P. Kennedy dumb AND corrupt. I already knew Ney had no shame (the "only lawmaker to receive donations from both Abramoff and Scanlon"), but Patty K.?

Just because he is a Kennedy, it doesn't mean we give him a free pass.
