In the UK they call it “proxy donors”… LOL

  

From BBC reader submissions:  Jim Bainbridge: “Driving through Nevada on Thanksgiving we came across the most amazing sunset skies as we neared Winnemucca. These clouds in the north looked like UFOs.”

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It comes as police launched a probe into Mr Abrahams’ donations.

In total, the North East property developer gave Labour more than £650,000 via four associates.

What a hoot!  And we all know, for years now, that Dem party consultants, operatives and whatever else is deep in the gutter of cash based elections… have gone across the pond to consult – with New Newer Newest Labour…. Spread the joy with a big spatula… What a hoot!

Another sign this practise is very widespread…

I passed them the details of Mrs Kidd as someone whose offer of a donation we had not taken up,” Mr Leslie said.

He stressed that neither Mr Brown nor his campaign manager, Jack Straw, had known anything about the contacts with Mr Abrahams or Mrs Kidd’s attempted donation.

Mr Straw told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “Gordon Brown had absolutely no knowledge of any connection – inappropriate connection – between Mr Abrahams and Mrs Kidd. Neither did I.

“Neither, to the best of my knowledge – although I accept this is ultimately a matter for these inquiries – did any member of the immediate campaign team involved or the other campaigns.”   [we knew nuzzink!  we still know nuzzink!  – Mcat]

Mr Straw said:

“If Gordon Brown had had even a sniff that this was going on, he would have stopped it immediately, as would have I.”

He added that “for a long time this was an unknown unknown. The moment it became a known known, we got on to it.”

Sounds like Jack Straw spent way way way too much time with Rummy.

A roll in the hay perhaps..

A roll in the cash, certainly……..

It’s a struggle, but have to find amusement where ever it may lie…

UPDATE, 7:59 am

Might as well laugh, since no one will call them criminals, nor even war profiteers… Two years and a month since he started weeping over the Iraq War, Jack Murtha has the temerity (from ABC’s The Note):

Think this comment will have legs as Congress ponders its next move in Iraq?

“I think the ‘surge’ is working,” says Rep. John P. Murtha, D-Pa., after returned from a brief trip to Iraq.

(There’s crucial context here, but it’s unlikely to be remembered when Republicans start quoting Murtha back to him.)

And in a sign that the punishment of the ordinary American is a political specialty, even as the sad fucks continue to vote for the gaseous and greasy pols:

Edwards is getting more specific in his healthcare plan: He’d garnishee the wages of those who can afford healthcare but don’t obtain coverage.

Per ABC’s Teddy Davis:

“Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards is hoping to stand-out from rivals on health care by portraying the plan of rival Barack Obama as leaving 15 million uninsured and portraying Hillary Clinton as lacking the candor needed to get to universal coverage.”

I’d choke before I voted for these vicious loons.
