Good luck trying not to barf when reading about him “toweling off”. He may hate Bob McDonnell, but EVERYONE knows who won that battle. By a HUGE margin.

Ok. There was no bigger defender of Jeff on the blogs than me, but that last comment . . . what a dick. And here I was hoping that he might get together and run again for his old seat to get it back. Whatever, I’m done. I had my reasons for supporting him and honestly they did not have a lot to do with him. I did like Jeff a lot though, and was an excited supporter.
But writing in a vote for governor in maybe the most important election in modern RPV history? F that.
Chris
on November 4th, 2009At this point, what reason would any Republican in Virginia have for standing with Jeff Frederick over Bob McDonnell? Is he happy to bawl in the corner by himself from here on out?
VA Blogger
on November 4th, 2009He can towel off his tears!
Loudoun Insider
on November 4th, 2009I’m sure Willie Deutsch and J. Tyler Balance will be by soon to defend this.
Some will say I shouldn’t keep giving him the attention he so obviously craves, but this is a “we can never forget” kind of narcissist that must be continually exposed for what he is. We can’t let up lest he come back to haunt us all somehow.
Loudoun Insider
on November 4th, 2009I wonder if Frederick wrote in Patrick Muldoon for Governor. He probably just wrote his own name in there.
VA Blogger
on November 4th, 2009Lil’ Napoleon actually was floating that idea a while back – that he would run as an independent. He should have, McDonnell could have given up the 1% J-Fred would have gotten with pleny of cushion to spare, and the strngth of his appeal could have been empirically measured.
Loudoun Insider
on November 4th, 2009Loudoun Insider is right: spare the rod and spoil the child. Even a godly defender of life like Jeff must be held up for loving correction and discipline sometimes. Perhaps he will find a way to lead all true conservatives out of the wilderness now that they have lost their way in victory.
T speeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkkssssssss

on November 4th, 2009Every single time I think Frederick could get no lower, he finds a way to go lower. What an unbelievable ego.
Brian S
on November 4th, 2009Frederick is a scabrous afterbirth cast off by the so-called conservative movement.
The painful, burning discharge of an sexually-transmitted infection the party in Virginia suffered through.
Biggest.
Asshole.
Ever.

on November 4th, 2009You guys didn’t REALLY expect anything more of this turd did you?
Here we have a positive force in front of the entire population of Virginia, and this state-wrecker is still bitter enough to be whining like a child in front of the media.
The Bulletproof Monk
on November 4th, 2009Just had to whip out that old Lil’ Napoleon montage I was sent by my number one Frederick watcher fan.
Please let there not be a need for a Part III in this series!
Loudoun Insider
on November 4th, 2009I was wondering what Jeff’s going to do…now I find out.
I think a lot in this race is owed to the genius of Ed Gillespie. He helped us get rid of Jeff, which let Pat Mullins help lead the organization to victory.
Let me take this second to thank Ed: 1 president, 1 senator, and now 2 governors (unless I’m forgetting others). Quite the patriot. Piss off, Jeff. Quit coming back from your political grave, you soprano-voiced loon.
Not Ed Gillespie
on November 4th, 2009And I shudder at the thought of a less-than-fully-clad Jeff Frederick. Yuckkkkkkk.
Not Ed Gillespie
on November 4th, 2009the write-in comment was unnecessary. whatever happened to the 11th commandment?
kelley in virginia
on November 4th, 2009Kelley, as with so many other actions JFed has taken, he has proven time and time again that his interest couldn’t have less to do with Republican politics, and instead is all about vain self-interest.
VA Blogger
on November 4th, 2009I initially supported this guy during his time of duress, because an objective look at the available evidence made me think he was being railroaded. What a fucking tool. He’s got a WaPo reporter following him around while he does the backstroke and gives them exactly what they want to print? Please.
Cato the Elder
on November 4th, 2009Ok, like Chris, I was a supporter of Jeff on my blog. I tried to give him a fair shake, but I started to draw the line over his attack on Governor-elect McDonnell’s thesis which Bob should never have backed down from. Bob told the truth as he saw it in his thesis and I happen to agree with him. When a man is attacked by conservatives for calling a spade a spade… I can’t justify that. Here are my tweets on the matter.
“# What’s wrong with this picture? 64 days ago
# Along with a father who works and provides for his family… 64 days ago
# McDonnell being attacked 4 telling the truth by conservatives. A stay at home mom is INDEED the most ideal situation 4 the preservation of the family..
Charlie Fugate

on November 5th, 2009Yup, Michael, you are right. Let’s talk about how we are going to beat the Dem Congressman (ooooh, can I warm up to that idea!).
kelley in virginia
on November 5th, 2009Yea…I’m still waiting for him to answer my e-mails over my concerns over rigged bidding and insider vending contracts at RPV I raised to him during his campaign for RPV Chairman. Then Amy answered one of my e-mails after about a month finally, but that was when he was in trouble and needed support to keep his job. Instead, I recently got this ridiculous e-mail updating me on what the Fredericks have been up to lately….like I REALLY freeeking care at this point.
There are alot of us that still ask each other…”what was I thinking supporting him?” It certainly was the dumbest choice I ever made in an inner-party squabble.
Gnarly
on November 5th, 2009Jeff was the Michael Steele of Virginia. A total joke, but oh so fun to watch. I was so sad when y’all dumped him.
.
Please don’t ever get rid of Steele. In these troubled times we all need a good laugh now and then.
Dan
on November 5th, 2009Stop wasting time with Jeff Frederick. That chapter is done. The Washington Post is looking for any or all fodder to bash Republicans ( any flavor ) with at the onset of a great Republican victory. When Jeff Frederick says something stupid to the WAPO ignore them both. Don’t assist the Post in sowing the seeds of discontent. They will take a minor issue, one that was put to bed months ago, dust it off as bait hoping you will spend the days after a Republican victory talking smack about anyone with an R after their names.Stop taking the bait. Here is what happens if you ignore them. A. There is no story, it dies for lack of interest, yawn. B. Jeff Frederick goes away. yawn. For Christs sake learn how to play this game or spend a disproportionate amount of time arguing about a figure of no consequence while the WAPO laughs in the corner
G. Stone
on November 5th, 2009Jeff who?
Loudoun Lady
on November 5th, 2009G. Stone, I agree with you that Jeff Frederick is irrelevant and a non-story. But I hardly think this story is the product of the grand media conspiracy that folks on the right love to fantasize about.
.
People who are crazy and colorful and make a lot of noise always get attention in the press. It has little to do with their relevance and everything to do with their entertainment value.
.
That is why we rarely see a quiet, competent Congressman like Frank Wolf on TV, but a totally insane one like Michelle Bachmann is seen almost daily on Fox, MSNBC, CNN and many other outlets. As near as I can tell Bachmann doesn’t do much actual work on Capitol Hill but she is amusing as hell as a freak show on TV. She is neither serious nor relevant but she gets oodles of media attention. The audience seems to enjoy the freak show.
.
Gotta love the free market.
Dan
on November 5th, 2009Dan, you are right. Frank Wolf doesn’t get on TV (at least not down here in the boondocks) often because he is a measured, softspoken guy. Meanwhile, we do have Congressional freakshows on TV here. Charlie Rangel? That Moran person from NOVA (please, yall, do better).
kelley in virginia
on November 5th, 2009Kelley, Jim Moran certainly has been known to say some incredibly stupid things over the years. But he is hardly in the same league with Bachmann.
.
Compared to Bachmann Jim Traficant sounded measured and thoughtful.
Dan
on November 5th, 2009Dan, Please. Spare us the “freak show” comments. Using Frank Wolf as an example is silly, not only is he measured – he is simply not an extroverted guy. If his personality is what appeals to you, so be it, but comparing his competency level to that of Bachmann is merely repeating Daily Kos crap. Pick another target and you won’t give yourself up so much.
As far as I can tell, there is quite a crowd downtown today to listen to Bachmann and Mark Levin. Make fun of the “tea-baggers” and “freakshows” at your peril. Conservatives, Independents and middle of the road Democrats are learning to be activists, and I am sure it makes you very uncomfortable. Too bad for you.
Loudoun Lady
on November 5th, 2009I will say this, I don’t even know why LI is bringing this up in the first place. As much as the quote pissed me off, you guy kicking this guy over and over after he’s been down is just sad. I like Jeff and his wife, don’t mind telling people I supported them, know they got jobbed, and its over. Why you guys need to keep attacking this guys is ridiculous. Lets get over it.
Chris
on November 5th, 2009LL, it has little to do with my liking his personality. And comparing Wolf’s competence to Bachmann’s is hardly DailyKos crap. Wolf is a competent Congressman. Bachmann is not. Period.
.
In the nearly quarter of a century that Frank Wolf was my representative I can’t recall a single instance where I was embarrassed to say he was my Congressman. Bachmann is an almost daily embarrassment. That you cannot distinguish the difference between those two speaks volumes about the current state of the Republican Party.
.
The 435 members of the House represent us as a people pretty accurately. There are some brilliant folks up there and some who are dumb as a stump. There are serious and sober folks and then there are the Bachmanns of the world. Saying outrageous things to get the cameras pointed at them and rarely doing any actual work. Congressmen do work you know. The ones who belong up there. The ones interested in doing the people’s business rather than showboating. Both liberals and conservatives.
.
And no, I am not uncomfortable with any group of citizens becoming politically active. I welcome it. Many of those people have legitimate concerns and are anxious about the future. Many of them are more than anxious. They are afraid. And I resent self serving demagogues like Michelle Bachmann exploiting that fear for personal gain.
Dan
on November 5th, 2009I agree with Dan. I resent Charlie Rangel’s exploiting his fear of the IRS for personal gain. oh wait…
kelley in virginia
on November 5th, 2009Bachman is now speaking on the steps of the capitol as we speak. The word is thousands from all over hells half acre have assembled to tell congress NO to Pelosi health care control. If she is successful at slowing this monstrously down and ultimately killing it, then even you will owe her a debt of gratitude. She has taken the lead on stopping a really bad idea.
When those in congress tell you to sit down and shut up, it is time to step up and say NO. Kill this bill.
G. Stone
on November 5th, 2009Kelley, it isn’t a partisan thing and you won’t find me defending Rangel. I can name Democrats I would like to see gone because of their misconduct. I don’t understand why Democrats aren’t the first to demand their scalps.
.
The same can be said of Republicans. Why are David Vitter and John Ensign still in the Senate? They should be gone. And why in God’s name aren’t honest Republicans leading the charge to get rid of them? Not that it is morally defensible to retain them for partisan reasons, but the seats likely wouldn’t flip parties if those scumbags were tossed out.
Dan
on November 5th, 2009Dan – two words – Ted Kennedy. Wait, one more – hypocrite.
Your opinion of Michelle Bachmann means little to me. All you have put forward is your an opinion.
It’s funny (funny strange, not haha) that the “Palinization” of accomplished, smart, good looking Conservative women is still being utilized. At some point you would think the left would realize they are over reaching again. Some things never change.
Loudoun Lady
on November 5th, 2009KIV and GStone are correct – focus on beating Dems in 2010 and killing government run healthcare, cap and tax and any other far left Obama policy from here until then…..
Michael
on November 5th, 2009“I hardly think this story is the product of the grand media conspiracy that folks on the right love to fantasize about.”
No one said it was a conspiracy. It is one paper who has a documented history of bashing Republicans or conservatives into the ground at every opportunity. They are constantly looking for the next Mecca moment so they can write 3 stories a day from now until the end of time. It is not about conspiracy, it is about like minded lazy leftist drones with an agenda.

Cato the Elder
on November 5th, 2009I have to agree with Chris here. It does no one any good to beat up on Frederick at every opportunity. You had your fun. You overrode the will of the 08 convention. Get over it.
I do disagree with Jeff saying this publicly, but the fact that he did it makes perfect sense. McDonnell and his team orchestrated the effort to remove Jeff. Why would you vote for someone who just kicked you out of a post you won?
If for some idiotic reason I lead an effort to remove someone from the LCRC, say maybe Jeff Wolinski, is there any reason for me if I ran for an office in Loudon a few months later? Heck no.
Your constant petty attacks on Jeff Frederick does nothing to untie the party. Can we please move on people?
(Just in case anyone cares I campaigned pretty hard for McDonnell including all day Saturday through Tuesday.)
Willie Deutsch
on November 5th, 2009Willie, Thank you (most sincerely) for working McDonnell.
But regarding Frederick, I worked in executive protection. When you dropped an assault to you or your charge, you TOTALLY incapacitated him, lest he get up behind you.
I think we want to disable Frederick permanently, so that he can do us no harm….ever again.
As for unification behind McDonnell of all facets of the Party? I heartily endorse it. Until we witness those who didn’t pull their weight. That’s the Fredericks, the Muldoons and every other johnny one-note.I want them gone. They don’t help us now, and they never will.
The Bulletproof Monk
on November 5th, 2009Um Willie,
It was Jeff that raised his head and said something stupid at a very ill conceived time. This IS the time and the place to vent/discuss it. It helps….believe me…. to know where we’ve gone wrong in the past so mistakes won’t be repeated in the future.
Gnarly
on November 5th, 2009Frederick didn’t have to speak to the Post. They weren’t holding a gun to his head. And regardless of whatever sour grapes or animosity he may hold for McDonnell, it’s not even close to being in his best interests to say it, and especially not to say it to the Post. It only makes perfect sense if Jeff is an immature high school student, not a former party chairman and elected official.
.
It’s funny that Frederick’s supporters are quick to tell the rest of us to move on when it was they who argued that his ouster would have repercussions far beyond this cycle.
.
What is completely clear now is that removing Frederick was absolutely the right thing to do. Even his apologists should recognize that now after this latest ego trip in the Post. Most of them do. But I guess old habits, like defending Frederick for his gaffes, die hard.
Brian S
on November 5th, 2009Wow I can feel the love flowing across cyberspace. I agree it would have been better if Jeff hadn’t have said that. Anita Kumar called me after the thesis story broke wanting me to criticize McDonnell for backing away from his thesis, and I was like heck no. Of course that is what you are supposed to do, but goign after Jeff does nothing. There are a number of stories that this blog never covered regarding Bob McDonnell, Pat Mullins, or the Executive Committee that would have been covered if done by Jeff.
You have to be critical of your party, but being critical just because you despise someone does noone any good.
When I talked with Pat before the chairman vote at the convention I was excited to hear he wanted to untie this party and stop going after Frederick and his supporters, I only wish everyone in this party could agree on that.
April 4th happened, is it possible to move on?
Willie Deutsch
on November 5th, 2009Hey: go to patriotroom.com there is an article about Connolly & how he said in response to Tuesday’s election: we have to pass health care now.
LooK everybody: the word is that Pelosi may have just, just, just enough to pass this. call his DC office & all his satellite offices. get your friends in other districts to call Boucher, Nye, Perriello. These are vulnerable Congressmen.

I can only hope that you attempted to type “unite” the Party.

I appreciate your loyalty on McDonnell. Jeff wasn’t as focused on the good.
In pointed fact, he participated in the negative, and should be expunged.
The Bulletproof Monk
on November 5th, 2009“Please. If we canned every Senator/Congressman for cutting a slice on the side the damn building would be half empty..”
.
Cato, I think you know that infidelity isn’t the issue with Vitter and Ensign.
.
I am not a Puritan. I don’t care who is boinking someone on the side or who drinks a bit too much. If they do their jobs properly I would hope we would all mind our own business about their personal peccadilloes.
.
I think John Tower should have been confirmed as Secretary Defense without regard to his drinking and womanizing because he was very well qualified for the job and the president wanted him. I don’t think Wilbur Mills should have been forced to resign just because he went swimming in the Tidal Basin with Fanne Foxe.
.
But those guys didn’t break the law or use public or party funds to cover up their indiscretions. Vitter and Ensign did.
.
I don’t care that David Vitter likes to have women put diapers on him. But paying a prostitute to do it and have sex with him is against the law. And I would hope you would agree that obeying the law themselves is a pretty minimal standard to ask our lawmakers to live up to.
.
Ensign is a true sleaze. He broke a major regular guy rule by sleeping with the wife of a close friend. A friend who was also his employee. He then abused his position as head of the NRSC by employing the 19 year old son of his mistress as a “political consultant” at the NRSC. In other words, he took the hard earned money that regular Republicans had donated and funnelled it to the family of his mistress while he was boinking her.
.
Then there is the landing of the lobbying job for the cuckolded husband and subsequent violations of the law regarding lobbying your old office immediately after leaving government service. Not to mention the $94,000 in “gifts” from Ensign’s parents to the mistress’s family.
.
You are being just a tad disingenuous when you pretend that infidelity is the extent of their transgressions. Vitter and Ensign are criminals. They shouldn’t be sitting United States Senators. I think honest Republicans are appalled by these men and agree that they should be gone.
.
As a bonus, we are talking about Louisiana and Nevada. The GOP should be able to hold the seats. And they could be filled by honest men instead of these two slimy crooks.
Dan
on November 5th, 2009“I don’t care that David Vitter likes to have women put diapers on him. But paying a prostitute to do it and have sex with him is against the law. And I would hope you would agree that obeying the law themselves is a pretty minimal standard to ask our lawmakers to live up to.”
*
I see Vitter as a different case. I’ll expand. I presume your argument is that he gets paid with tax dollars, thus his transgression is that his hooker habit was funded by guys like you and I. So let’s call your beef with Vitter as being “this guy used my tax dollar inappropriately.” The same can be said of Murtha, Rangel, Waters, Graves, etc. all of whom meet your definition of “criminal” and wear the D hat. Except that’s not the case – once the cash hits their account it’s no longer a “tax dollar.” They’re getting paid for servies rendered. If that argument were valid I’d make it against every aforementioned D legislator + every public sector union dues paying employee.
*
“Ensign is a true sleaze.”
*
No argument. There’s a difference between hiring a hooker to indulge you in some kind of Oedipal thing and screwing a staffers wife then getting caught in a blackmail scheme where you’re using campaign contributions to pay out. Both are clear violations of the letter of the law, but one is far more egregious, don’t you agree?
Cato the Elder
on November 5th, 2009I know some, although not a heck of a lot, about this Jeff Fredrick guy; but, wow, he sure can fill up a thread pretty fast.
wolverine
on November 5th, 2009Only young Willie truly understands the godly nature of Jeff: “And the LORD said: If any harm follows, then you shall give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe” (Exodus 21:23-25). Bob McD and RPV silenced the righteous leader of the grassroots and now he who was made last has been exalted. The secular paper of the evildoers and homosexuals has been used to raise up our mighty man of faith, proving that all things work together for those who love the Lord.
Only the purest defender of life like Jeff can defeat Luke Torian the false prophet. Pray that Jeff finds it in his heart to forgive the unbelieving and returns to the battle against Heaven’s foes.
t sssppppppppppppppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkksssss
t
on November 5th, 2009I sure hope that is the real “t” and not an imposter. I always enjoyed t’s posts.
Dan
on November 6th, 2009Cato, your presumption about my argument is completely incorrect. It most certainly is NOT that, “this guy used my tax dollar inappropriately.” Where the money came from that Vitter used to pay prostitutes isn’t the issue. It has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with it. It is simply that one who makes law shouldn’t be able to seriously violate it and retain office. And this guy is running for re-election.
.
Considering that scandals of various types likely played a part in the election results in 2006 and 2008 I would think smart Republicans (as well as those with a functioning moral compass) would do their best to give this guy the boot.
.
Vitter’s previous sanctimonious statements about the moral transgressions of others casts him as a major hypocrite, but that is irrelevant too. Being a hypocrite isn’t a crime. Buying sex from hookers is.
.
I agree that Ensign is a sleaze of much greater magnitude than Vitter. If I were a Republican I would be particularly outraged by Ensign’s case and I’d be looking for someone to demand he repay the money he funneled from the NRSC to the family of his mistress. Perhaps his mommy and daddy could write a check. I’m sure the folks who donated fifty or a hundred bucks of their hard earned dough to the NRSC would appreciate that.
As I have said before I don’t view these things as a partisan matter. Crooks should be prosecuted. The fact that they are sitting Senators or powerful House Chairmen is not a reason to refrain from going after them. It is more reason to do so.
.
In some of the cases you mentioned it is unfortunate that the fact that investigations are in process was inadvertently disclosed. Both from the point of view of those being investigated who may be innocent and from the prosecutor’s view point. It doesn’t help an investigation when the subject knows they are being investigated.
.
Having said that, I think Rangel should step down immediately from his chairmanship. It can be temporary until the House investigation and any prosecution is complete. But you can’t have someone with the tax issues he has sitting in that chair. I don’t care how well liked he is among his colleagues or what else he brings to the table.
Dan
on November 6th, 2009So wait, Dan. Were you on the warpath for Bill Clinton’s head when he committed perjury about the blowjob? I suspect your beef with Vitter is a lot more about him being a hypocrite than him paying a hooker to put pampers on him. Frankly, I feel the same way about Vitter as I did about BC getting head in the oval office: BFD.
Cato the Elder
on November 6th, 2009Cato, I believe Clinton lost his law license over that didn’t he? So there were appropriate consequences for his actions.
.
I was appalled by Clinton’s behavior. I was also appalled that Ken Starr asked that question. Starr had spent years and millions of dollars investigating every aspect of Clinton’s life over a period of twenty-five years and came up with zilch that he could bring charges on. So he asked that question. Had Clinton told Starr to go f*ck himself rather than perjure himself he would not have been disbarred. And I think many Americans would have cheered such a response.
.
Perjury about a consensual blowjob is still perjury. But let me ask you a question. Do you think that rose to the level of “high crimes and misdemeanors” that our founding fathers intended when they put the impeachment provision in the Constitution? Was it appropriate to put the country through an impeachment over that? Can Republicans say with a straight face that they had the best interests of the country at heart and not their own political aims when they put the country through an impeachment over that? Did the country not pay a pricew, particularly in area
Dan
on November 6th, 2009of foreign policy and security by the huge distraction of an impeachment?
Dan
on November 6th, 2009If I understand you position on Vitter it is that if the local prosecutor didn’t bring charges then he gets to stay. Fair enough. Let’s hope the voters of Louisiana send him packing next year.
.
Why not primary Vitter?
Dan
on November 6th, 2009“Perjury about a consensual blowjob is still perjury. But let me ask you a question. Do you think that rose to the level of “high crimes and misdemeanors” that our founding fathers intended when they put the impeachment provision in the Constitution”
No Dan. I’m resting my interpretation of high crimes and misdemeanors on his OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE.
The Bulletproof Monk
on November 6th, 2009Dan, Why don’t you concentrate on picking off the perverts in your own party, or start with the 6 Dems that are under investigation on House ethics charges?
You could blindfold yourself and spin around in a room of Democrats, take off the blindfold and BINGO – someone to denounce. Have at it.
Loudoun Lady
on November 6th, 2009Loudoun Lady, as I have repeatedly said, this isn’t a partisan issue. I have candidly named Democrats I thought should be gone or who should be challenged in a primary because I felt they were unfit for office because of their actions.
.
Have you ever done anything but knee jerk defend Republican miscreants? Do you think John Ensign belongs in the Senate?
.
I know people who gave money to the Republican Party in good faith. They didn’t expect it to be spent seeing to it that John Ensign got laid on a regular basis. You may be blindly partisan, but don’t you have any feeling for those loyal Republican donors who were scammed out of their contributions by a worm like Ensign? Or does the (R) after his name allow you to forgive anything?
Dan
on November 6th, 2009To those complaining about me bringing this up, I’m not the one giving an interview to the newspapers. This is a little ole political blog. We need to keep our eyes on morons like Frederick.
Loudoun Insider
on November 6th, 2009Dan, I don’t give money to the party – only individual candidates. I have given nothing to Ensign, I don’t support him and the people in his state can boot his ass out if they want. I advise everyone I meet to give to candidates.
What exactly are you calling for, mobilization in the rank and file of the Republican Party to march down Constitution Avenue with a banner proclaiming their contempt for men than sleep with women other than their wife? All those marches and denouncements against Ted Kennedy are so inspiring, I mean, your party is really an example to us all about how to treat cheaters and murderers. It brings a tear to my eye just thinking about it.
Loudoun Lady
on November 6th, 2009Loudoun Lady, infidelity is not the issue. I won’t recap all that Ensign did again. You can choose to brush it aside as merely infidelity if you like.
.
I am indeed shocked that no Republicans have expressed outrage at how Ensign abused THEM. And it’s not like he did a swell job as Chair of the NRSC. He presided over major losses. And at the same time was taking the money that rank and file Republicans (some of them my relatives) had donated and using it to pay off the family of his mistress.
.
Like I say, I am just more than a little surprised at the lack of outrage among Republicans. My Democratic friends are very candid about their feeling toward John Edwards for instance. He qualifies as a major sleaze too. And not because of simple infidelity. I would think Republicans would be appalled by Ensign and do something about it. Especially being the party that talks about moral values all the time.

on November 6th, 2009John Edwards has been a major sleaze most of his career, as a lawyer and a Senator. Glad you and all your buddies finally caught on. Your candid comments are inspiring and heart warming.
