Actor Kevin Spacey is portrayed as the notorious villain ‘Jack Abramoff’ in the yet to be released movie entitled ‘Casino Jack’. You may recall Abramoff as the often cited by Senator “No Ear-marks Ever” Testor as the evil dude that was in bed with former Senator Burns. Interestingly, Senator Burns was absolved of all these charges but not until after it had cost him his reelection bid. ‘Casino Jack’ should be an interesting movie considering the Montana connection.
Seeing this story on Politico.com
http://www.politico.com/click/stories/1001/abramoff_flick_stars_spacey.html reminded me of all the failed promises made by Senator “No Ear-Marks Ever” Testor during his campaign. First he pounded and pounded the evils of the current ear mark system yet he continually votes for bill that contains thousands of just such ear-marks. Consider the 100 million dollar earmarks going to pay off Senators for their recent health-care votes and etc. Consider that within weeks of taking office Testor was in a questionable relationship with another Chinese K Street contributor to his Senate campaign named Norman Hsu.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Norman_Hsu makes Abromoff look like a choir boy in comparision. Hsu is now a convicted pyramid investment scammer that gave tens of thousands of dollars to Democratic political candidates, including our own beloved “No Ear-Marks Ever” Tester. Hsu lived in California and was invested heavily in real-estate in the San Francisco Bay area which in retrospect was one of the reasons why Tester logged so many trips to California during his recent campaign along with his efforts to make sweetheart deals with imfamous supporter Nancy Pelosis.
Apparently one forgets his campaign promises once he becomes a Senator and joins his new friends on K Street.

It would be a far more interesting movie, or at least an episode of Criminal Minds, to do a story of Governor Judy Martz.
ReplyDeleteIf memory serves me correctly, the Republican Governor personally washed the blood out her assistants clothing after a DUI fatality. This act of obstruction was perpetrated in the governor's mansion.
And, if memory serves me correctly, the reason that she washed the blood out of the clothes was purposefully obstruct the investigation.
If memory serves me correctly the clothes had been released to the Governor by the Highway patrol because they had no value as "evidence" until days after the accident when one of the county attorneys decided they wanted to have a look at them and discovered them washed.
ReplyDeleteDeConstructor, if you read anything at that time you know that. And she did not "purposly obstruct the invesigation" and you know that too.
Nice try tho. Is there any Republican you can find a "good" word about?
I thought Abe Lincoln was pretty good...
