I'd also give a link to a CNN article, but they are oddly silent on this. Anyway, I think this may have made my whole year. :har:

This has to be a classic example of "Do as i say and not as i do".

You probably find that they're all crooked, and there's a puppeteer pulling the strings.
If you don't comply.. you get snagged like this, and if you squeal, you get buried - so this is most likely a warning from one slimeball to another
:hmmm:

:o:doh:

Talk about your double standardized conflict of interest. :roll:

Next will come all the "forgive me I'm human and I have sought counseling" platitudes. C'mon Leland! Man up, for the resort prison ain't so bad!:haha:

YA think! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...wn_in_2006.jpg Willie Brown: still the king at 80+ Knows all! sees all! and if a finger ain't in the pie...then it's still a coolin on his window sill! Very hard NOT to like and respect in spite of corruption rumors. http://www.biography.com/people/willie-brown-40059?page=2

Reminds me of the senator who was anti-homosexual but was discovered with a "wide stance" in a men's room. :nope:

Hypocrites. :nope:

They seem to be more interested in who we call, how often and how long. Looking for dirt on all their favorite frienemies.:arrgh!: California has a problem with fruit flies lately. This is the second one to get caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Somebody else's cookie jar.

If an item is banned/illegal for the general public to own, then the price of the item skyrockets. On top of it all this A-hole is a hypocrite!:down:

Typical arrogant politician with a "do as I say, not as I do" attitude. :nope:
Vote them all out! :down:

Maybe a few years in the general population of Leavenworth would make him see the error of his ways?

Do as I say. Not as I do.

What an idiot, politicians are supposed to sell weapons to dodgy terrorists, not buy them.

Don't forget the drug lords. You can't have a war on drugs without an armed enemy. :roll:

Don't worry, the DOJ has it covered.

I gotta say I'm a bit skeptical about this and I wonder if he is being framed, or if this is something designed to seriously damage his credibility.

Also his selling weapons that were being sourced from a Muslim rebel group is a little fishy. Rebel groups tend not to sell their weapons as they are usually having enough difficulty supplying themselves (unless of course they would double their money in the sale). There are other things too that make me go hmmm about this.

But he could be guilty too, who knows.

Most unusal...a hypocritical politician :hmmm:
