Cleaver Lists Committee Assignments on Fundraiser Invitation

March 17th, 2010 · No Comments

Not saying that it’s never done, but this is the first time we have ever seen a fundraising invite that lists the particular committees that a congressman sits on. It’s kind of similar to us like listing the options for a new car on the window. We guess just like new car shoppers, a lobbyist […]

Another Fine Example of Media Amnesia, Double Standards & Cover Ups

March 16th, 2010 · No Comments

The Source posted a piece yesterday chronicling another example of the sheer dishonesty corruption and negligence of Missouri’s fourth estate: The Source: In 2006, the Kansas City Star ran with a story about Congressional offices leasing vehicles for official duties.

Picture of the Day: Democrat Healthcare Script

March 16th, 2010 · No Comments
