Bad news for Republicans... I don't remember seeing this before... Hillary Rodham Clinton's former national campaign finance chief was acquitted today of charges that he concealed the costs of a glitzy Brentwood fundraiser from the Federal Election Commission. Jurors found David Rosen not guilty of failing to report more than $700,000 in costs for the fundraiser, attended by President Clinton, his wife and an A-list of Hollywood stars on the eve of the 2000 Democratic National Convention Its common knowledge how much the Clintons scare the bejezus out of the GOP. The Bushies know they can't get them on smarts so they keep looking for an achilles heel. They found it with Bill.........and they made the most of it, turning a molehill into a mountain range. However, I have a sneaking suspicion they will be less successful with Hillary.....much less successful. The problem with Hillary is that she isn't all that charismatic and she's a women. If either of those weren't true, the GOP would be screwed......big time.

Mr. Delay thinks this smokescreen will keep people from seeing the truth......however, what it really does is make clear to people what a small man he is........sorry, small porker. ****************************************************** Raw Data: Tom DeLay Letter to NBC** Friday, May 27, 2005 The following is the text of a letter House Majority Leader Tom DeLay wrote to NBC about an episode of "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" in which his name was mentioned. May 26, 2005 Jeff Zucker President NBC Universal Television Group 30 Rockefeller Plaza New York, NY 10012 Dear Mr. Zucker, It was with grave concern I learned this morning of the disturbing misuse of my name on last night's episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent. In the episode, a police officer investigating the murder of a federal judge suggested "put[ting] out an APB for somebody in a Tom DeLay t-shirt." This manipulation of my name and trivialization of the sensitive issue of judicial security represents a reckless disregard for the suffering initiated by recent tragedies and a great disservice to public discourse. I can only assume last night's slur was in response to comments I have made in the past about the need for Congress to closely monitor the federal judiciary, as prescribed in our constitutional system of checks and balances. I have explained all such comments - even those inartfully made and taken out of context - on numerous occasions, including with representatives of your network. When a responsible journalist like Brit Hume made an inquiry into such comments, he quickly understood them to be limited to Congress's oversight responsibilities and nothing more. American judges and law enforcement officers put their lives on the line every day to protect our streets, our citizens, and our way of life. To equate legitimate constitutional inquiry into the role of our courts with a threat of violence against our judges is to equate the First Amendment with terrorism. Our constitution created and our people have a right to an independent judiciary, but millions of Americans in recent decades have grown concerned about the expansion of judicial independence into judicial supremacy. To compare such concerns, which, again, are shared by millions of Americans, to a violent crime is a reckless trivialization of a serious public issue. Last night's brazen lack of judgment represents a failure of stewardship of our public airwaves and as much evidence as anyone needs for the embarrassing state of the mainstream media's credibility. Sincerely, Tom DeLay foxnews.com
