EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Rohrabacher Took Illicit $$$, Perks from Jack Abramoff; While Abramoff Sentenced, Rohrabacher, Islamist Grover Norquist Not; Why? (://URLFAN)
By Debbie Schlussel
One of John McCain’s biggest achievements in the past several years was the hearings he held about sleazy former lobbyist Jack Abramoff . He’s the one who really got the ball rolling on exposing Jack and leading to his prosecution.
Yesterday, Jack Abramoff was sentenced to four years in prison in connection with his defrauding of federal Indian tribes in his casino gambling lobbying scheme. He is already serving a five-year-plus sentence in prison, for bankruptcy fraud.
The feds recommended a lenient sentence for Abramoff, whom they say has aided in the investigation of many other individuals connected to his scheme.
But two names are not mentioned that should be: Republican Congressman Dana Rohrabacher and pan-Islamist & NRA Board Member Grover Norquist.

Now I can reveal that Congressman Rohrabacher accepted thousands of dollars in ...

Convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff told his colleagues at his former law firm that he had an “agreement” regarding communications with a former assistant to then-Deputy Chief of Staff, Karl Rove, perhaps the most substantial documented tie between Abramoff and the White House to date.
In the email, dated Feb. 27, 2001, Abramoff reprimands a colleague who asked him to use Susan Ralston – Special Assistant to the President George W. Bush and then-Bush senior adviser Karl Rove – to arra... more

The prospect of a bailout of the Big 3 Detroit automakers so far isn’t sitting well with at least members of Orange County’s congressional delegation.
Reps. Gary Miller, Ken Calvert and Dana Rohrabacher all told me today that they’re not thrilled with this bailout idea.
In our informal Buzz poll earlier this week 76 percent of you were against a bailout and 20 percent in favor. You can still vote.
Should Congress bail out the auto industry?

She’s not running for VP in ’08. She’s running for President in 2012. I suggest in the intervening years, she go back to college, pay attention this time, and learn that part of "rugged individualism" is NOT having Grover Norquist, Rush Limbaugh, The Christianists, and Bill Kristol pulling your strings all at once. If you can get through this without a chill running down your spine, you aren’t paying attention. She’s a complete Norquist puppet now,... more
Obamatarians? Whatever you want to call them, they’re well represented in a Reason survey. It’s certainly understandable that Obama, or really any liberal Democrat, would appeal to a certain type of libertarian. But a few of the contributors take the view that an Obama victory would generate a more libertarian Republican party, and that strikes me as fanciful--close to the opposite of what is likely to happen if Obama wins.
Kudos to several of the contributors for rejecting the tas... more

Yet another hate crime (watch both consecutive video news reports) that gets very little reporting because the roles of perpetrator and victim don’t follow the Jim Crow America image the media loves to portray. The graffiti scrawled all over this South Florida woman’s walls included "White Bread" and "FTW," which I presume stands for "F-ck The White(s)."

As readers know, I oppose charter schools and have for many years. They are merely vehicles to suck your tax money into funding bizarre religious ideologies and further separate America.
I’m all for a competitive marketplace, and that’s where school choice among public schools takes place and, perhaps, vouchers (but those, too, can go for religious schools disguised as secular ones). Charter schools--all based on certain beliefs and other mean... more
