if you honestly believe Pelosi saying that doesn't kill our credibility if we say, attack Iran,

Huh? Who is foolish enough to assume for a second that Pelosi speaks for this administration?

I think Hank's point might be that she is a FUCKING TRAITOR and should be SHOT for just going there and talking to them, but sometimes it's hard to tell.

Submit a shot? Why don't you just meet at GCT?

Restraining order says I can't shit on the floor there again or it's jail time.

Hank's New York hotel bathroom is a different story.

$25 mil.

Looks like the grass roots Democrats are giving the party machine a message.

I think they're giving Obama money.

Conrad Black sold a company a few years ago and made $400 mil. His family is also wealthy.

I have followed this trial now and searched for a reason our govt is spending eight figures to prosecute what they might be able to settle for a cash settlement. Putting aside the vacant and naive argument that "justice" and "sending a message" are worth the expenditure, isn't the better course to just tell this pompous asshole he has to cough up the $200 mil he allegedly stole over 10 years (all of it approved by directors while he drove up the stock price of every company touched) rather than have him deplete it with tens of millions in defense costs?

The man's clearly an awful pig with an ocean sized ego, but this economically absurd approach baffles me. I wondered the same thing about Dennis Kozlowski. Isn't the better course to force these people to pay back all the money they've stolen, with interest?

These guys are not comparable to Jeff Skilling, who deserves what he got.

I stroked a sizable check to Uncle Sam this week, and I'm not happy he's got that silly fucking boyscout Fitzgerald wasting a percentage of it chasing Scooter Libby and Conrad Black. Both deserve as much rot as can come into their lives, but these vindictive crusades are a waste of everyone's time and money.

Incidentally, this assjack agrees with you about the captured British soldiers.

Oh well. I'm sure you'll write to him and rant about how the "right" dissuades military personnel from expressing their personal views about their country's military decisions while eating the peanuts of the enemy and what a travesty that is.

Dean had $40 Million fairly early on. Doesn't really mean shit at this point.

Actually, they're giving everyone more money than they have before:

• FUNDRAISING NUMBERS IN PERSPECTIVE. A little non-Obama-centric context for the campaign fundraising numbers as they begin to come in:
  
  The previous record for the first quarter of the year before the election was Al Gore's $8.8 million in the first quarter of 1999. Bill Bradley raised about $4.4 million that quarter (which was big news at the time.) So, Dems raised a total of about $13 million from 51,000 contributors, under contribution limits of $1,000.
  
  In 2003, the first quarter was when Edwards broke out, but eight candidates between them raised about $25 million. By this time, contribution limits had been raised to $2,100.
  
  The past quarter, with the top contribution only slightly higher -- $2,300 - the top three Dems have raised $65 million. Add Dodd, Biden, Richardson, who together raised more than Gore and Bradley together, and you are very close to $80 million, or more than six times the amount raised when the previous individual record was set.
  
  And this is not "the donor class." Gore and Bradley had 51,000 contributors between them; we know that Clinton and Obama have 160,000 donors between them; assume another 80,000 among the other four (proportionate to their dollars), and you have roughly a quintupling of the number of people willing to donate early to a Democratic presidential campaign.
  
  New money and new people -- this is not your father's Democratic Party!

You two should just have sex and get it over with already.
