Dean to seek chairmanship of Democrats

In the meantime, Jim McDermott's nine-year old case will be first up before the House Ethics Committee.
----------------------------------------------------------
Mr. McDermott, however, found himself in hot water because it is a federal offense to secretly record a telephone conversation and share the information with the public.

A federal court found that Mr. McDermott illegally distributed the tape and ordered him to pay Mr. Boehner, who filed a lawsuit against him, $60,000 in punitive damages. The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the ruling last month.

Guess we'll soon be seeing just how serious the "Ethics Committee" is.

He completely reverses a previous position within three months.

For $100, Lash says (in another thread) we're on for the second one, above.

Clock is running.

Time's not quite up, as I thought.

Time's up now.

Ok, so maybe Frist is crazy too? http://newsmax.com/archives/ic/2005/3/19/104732.shtml

He may be, but I don't think that link proves that. But it does make a good point that you don't always need a criminal conviction to serve time in jail .. you can be sent to jail for contempt -- including contempt of Congress.

Well, I thought it went without saying that there would need to be a law passed making jail a possible sanction for not paying your bills before they would be sent to jail. Then, of course, there's the possibility I was just being glib.

I am convinced that PDid has substituted the real Howard Dean with some mild mannered clone--but we didn't make a provision in the bet for that contingency....

I have looked around (OK, I've scoured every crevasse in the WWW), and I canna find where Howard has completely reversed a position in the last three months.

As a matter of fact, I believe Howard has had the best three months of his life this very past three months. I believe if he ever runs for President, he may want to hire me to make a bet against him during the length of his campaign... He will be a shoo-in.

Anyhow-- it was a public bet.

Here is the public concession.

I lost.

Now Sharpton is on Dean's case about blacks being excluded from top DNC positions, he said they(blacks) should have more to show for their support of the DNC...and he said it on a rightwing radio show! Ouch!

Dean is serving you Fristians.

Quote:

"Tom DeLay is corrupt. No question about it,'' Dean said Friday. "This is a guy who shouldn't be in Congress and maybe ought to be serving in jail.''

Yeah, that sounds dead-on to me. If he won't back away from that, he won't be backing away from anything.

(Anyone watching him on Press the Meat? It doesn't come on for another 45 or so minutes here...)

I PM'd Lash after the deadline passed that I didn't intend to take her dough, that the point (shooting one's mouth off quite often results in nothing more than drool on one's shirt) had been made.

And she was gracious in acknowledging that, so that's good enough for me.

Washington would be empty if all the corrupt were ousted, and let's not forget Dean's records are being investigated in his home state.

Please cease the throwing of rocks in the big glass house.

That might explain her behaviour on another thread, pdid.

Thanks, kids.
It's been fun.

Dean is chair of the Democratic party.

PDid did not note, however, that I'd PMed him first, conceding I had lost the bet, and asking how he'd like me to send the money to him.

He PMed, graciously I thought, and said "Skip the money."

To which I replied back that I thought the gesture was nice, but I would prefer him to let me know how to send him his money.

If you are going to portray it, PDid, portray it accurately. PM me with information about how to send that money.

And, ehBeth--Try to understand this. What I said on the other thread is factual, and taken from the 911 Commission Report.

A legion of liberals denying it won't make that go away.

No one quibbled with the quotes from the Commission report, rather, people reasonably objected to your continual assertions that the report proved cooperation between Iraq and AQ to be a fact, when the Commission report not only does not state as much, but only suggests it hedged in with many qualifiers. From there, you have continually tried to assert that this fact (which was never a fact) justified an assertion that Iraq was involved in the September 11th attack, as a way of providing a post hoc justification for the invasion.

You were all so frantic to herd off Point E--that you vehemently denied Point A.

Point E-- The war was justified.

Point D-- Saddam actively cooperated with OBL in the 911 attack.

Point C-- Saddam indirectly assisted OBL by providing training ground and finances for 911.

Point B-- Saddam and OBL discussed working together against the US.

Point A-- Saddam and OBL communicated through representatives, and cooperated toward at least one goal.

-----
This is what I truly hate passionately. You were all so afraid I may take your admission of Point A and miraculously turn into Point E.

Point A happened. Making Point E more of a possibility than if it didn't.

Reasonable people can take a look at these men, their goals, what is going on with them at the time--add in Salman Pak, Yousef Ramzi, and other factors and come to the logical conclusion these men were working together.

The fact that I have been asserting is that SH and OBL worked together--cooperated --when OBL withdrew his support of the Islamic Kurds who fought Saddam from the North.

That is cooperation.

I cannot make it clearer than that. And I cannot understand why any logical person who can read could disagree. Unless they are greatly afraid of being a little closer to Point E.

--------
Point A had been inadvertently cut off as I submitted it--I guess. Anyway, it appears as intended now.
