This is clearly "pay for play." And in this particular case, the play stands for sex games in the bedroom in return for top appointments at the Justice Dept.

Now we're learning from NRO that Hanes currently holds an appointment under Holder in another capacity.

Naughty, naughty.

Max Baucus, (Doofus-Montana) seems to think, as so many others, that he's part of some Political "aristocracy" in DC. My question is this. Why does the electorate of Montana send such a weasel to Congress? Sic Semper Tyrannis.

Puns are alive!

Now, what dick do one suppose exposed Baucus?

Some media dick?

Some partisan political dick?

Couldn't have been a cuckold dick?

Need a dick to find out what dick was
instrumental in uncovering this dick
gone awry story.

LOL.

When are these people going to GET IT?

This sort of thing has got to stop. I don't care which party a politician belongs to. The corruption and sleazy favors have got to stop.

I say bring back the guillotines. Lop heads. We cannot have a healthy republic with corruption like this.

Ensign, lop.

Baucus, lop.

Rangel, lop.

It's utterly unacceptable.

Lib Reader's main goals:

Ingratiate, obfuscate, irritate, prevaricate.

No one believes L.R. wants the sleaze to stop, which begs the question, what does this Marxist douchebag really want?
