DEMOCRAT BREAKING HOUSE RULES hspace=3 Our old friend John Conyers of Michigan is in the soup. Now, this story is being reported by CNN...but that seems to be the only news outlet that's giving it any prominence. CNN is even reporting that Conyers is a Democrat. Imagine that! A little fair and balanced reporting from CNN. I guess there's a first time for anything. Anyway, Conyers is under fire for misusing his staff...and there are some dandy accusations flying around. Two former staff members have come forward to allege that the Michigan Democrat: Routinely brought his two young sons to work to be babysat by his staff....the same staff that is on the government payroll. His legal adviser says there were times he had to call around as late as 9 o'clock at night trying to find Conyers, so he could give his kids back. Some father. One staff member even moved into Conyers house to become his full-time nanny, again while on the government payroll. And now for the cardinal sin: Conyers used his Congressional staff to help run his campaign. That is a no-no. We'll see if the ethics committee takes an interest in that one. Now ask yourself something. If this had been a Republican, would the coverage of it be confined to CNN? What if it were say...Tom DeLay or Bill Frist? The media would be jumping up and down screaming. As it is, Conyers gets treated with kid gloves. Just another day at the office for the liberal media. boortz.com

So there are at least 6 outed self identified skank generals. Honest men have honest disagreements and still act with honor. skanks have no honor and their actions betray their identity. Donald Rumfeld is the genius of Secretary of Defense. Having such genius makes skank identification quite simple.

Lest we forget...... 20 Feb 2003 On The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld predicts that American forces will be welcomed as liberators by the Iraqi people: "There is no question but that they would be welcomed... Go back to Afghanistan, the people were in the streets playing music, cheering, flying kites, and doing all the things that the Taliban and the al-Qaeda would not let them do." 24 Mar 2003 On Face the Nation, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld declares: "We have seen intelligence over many months that they have chemical and biological weapons, and that they have dispersed them and that they're weaponized and that, in one case at least, the command and control arrangements have been established." 30 Mar 2003 On This Week with George Stephanopoulos, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld declares: "the area… that coalition forces control… happens not to be the area where weapons of mass destruction were dispersed. We know where they are. They’re in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat." 4 May 2003 On Fox News Sunday, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld declares: "we never believed that we’d just tumble over weapons of mass destruction in that country [Iraq]... We’re going to find what we find as a result of talking to people, I believe, not simply by going to some site and hoping to discover it. 27 May 2003 Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld declares to the Council on Foreign Relations: "Now what happened? Why weren’t they [WMDs] used? I don’t know. There are several possible reasons for that... it may very well be that they didn’t have time to… use chemical weapons. It is also possible that they decided that they would destroy them prior to a conflict." 10 Sep 2003 In a speech to the National Press Club, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld declares: "I said, 'We know they're in that area.' I should have said, 'I believe they're in that area.' Our intelligence tells us they're in that area, and that was our best judgment." [see previous quote above, March 30, 2003]
