Better hurry up and get some old news in here about Daschle and wife Linda.
Old campaign humbug attacke never die in the GOP mind.

Bob Dole is lobbying whilst Elizabeth is in the senate. Say it ain't so!!
Well, at least Democratic spouses shouldn't lobby, right?
There's a local lobbyist in the senate who's STILL lobbying for his fatcat (compensation is deferred until after senate service is over. Big money at that time!)
Kinda like Cheney and the Halliburton hundred million $$ he'll get when VP service is over for services rendered as VP/war monger/no-bid contract pusher/lobbyist-in-chief.

Betty, whatever you are referring to I do not believe that your post is justified in the language you use.

Poster 12:18 here again, let me put things more simple. If you are in congress or a state legislature. A spouse of an electd official should NOT be allowed to lobby ever. If you have been elected yes there should be a waiting period maybe even longer than it is now.

Betty should have to appear on Al Sharpton's radio show to apologize for her racist comment about our princess. She should be fired too.
Way to go PP. Now you leave it to our imagination to figure out what the "ho" comment was. Using that slur but deleting the original slur kind of defeats the purpose of deleting.

It's all in the national news look for "it" or the reference there.

I bet the comment PP deleted dealt with Nappy Haired people with difficult to spell names.

Is that a burka she's wearing? Maybe it's a hijab. Perhaps a gift from Nancy Pulloutsi.

I see poster 4:34 ...shut em down on knocking the GOP
As the only South Dakota blogger out with 5 daughters, I feel I need to weigh in on the whole discussion that's occurring with regards to the HPV vaccine, and Governor Rounds' proposal to make it available. My family (including my three oldest girls) watched my mom, their grandmother, succumb slowly and painfully to cancer which spread throughout her body. If a similar fate from a different type of cancer was preventable through a simple shot, why wouldn't anyone advocate for it? At the age most of my kids are going to be getting it, they're still playing with barbies, and negative influences such as most of the programming on MTV, and other assorted trashy television is verboten in my house. All they're going to know about this vaccination is that it's a shot, just like for teatnus or measles. They'll go "Ow, I don't want a shot," and that will be it. Just another mark on their vaccination record. One check box for DPT, one for HPV, and so on...
On the eve of her wedding, State Senator Orv Smidt writes to the Argus Leader condemning Congresswoman Herseth for her actions on the Iraq funding bill - calling them "emboldening to the enemy:" I ask you to consider how Herseth has gotten to be such an expert that she can deny the commander-in-chief, the Defense Department, the Secretary of State and our brave soldiers the resources they need to fight and win in Iraq? Why it is OK to embolden our enemy by publishing a timetable for withdrawal? I was once a soldier in Vietnam. The actions by our political leaders of the time told me that my service to our country was not appreciated. and... Our brave soldiers in Iraq don't want to hear that either. Go read it all here . Considering (as a Brookings residnt) he's her State Senator in Pierre, this is particularly stinging.
Hat tip to CCK and SDP : Northern Valley Beacon blog author Dave Newquist is no stranger to saying controversial things on his blog. But as SDP points out, this comment from him on CCK's blog is particularly worthy of notice since he's a candidate for the legislature: David Newquist, Democratic candidate for the state legislature, questions whether the American flag is even worth saluting anymore : A flag is a symbol. It symbolizes our history, our aspirations, our values. Of course it is upsetting to see someone desecrate our national symbol. But the Bush administration would like to get the nation in a raging furor, while it quietly erodes, undermines, and desecrates our Constitutional rights and protections. When the New York Times published a story on tapping into international financial transactions, the Bushites railed that the newspaper was endangering the nation and that the 3,000 people killed during 9/11 were being violated. Of course, they never mention the 2...
