For Craig and Others, a Caucus on the Potomac By MARILYN W. THOMPSON Published: September 28, 2007 WASHINGTON, Sept. 22 — When he is not at the Capitol, Senator Larry E. Craig spends much of his time aboard the Suz II, the 42-foot yacht that serves as his Washington home. Further down D Dock at the Capital Yacht Club, his friend Senator Ted Stevens occasionally escapes the pressures of a federal investigation aboard his pleasure boat. Former Representative Randy Cunningham, Republican of California, used to reside a few slips over on the Duke Stir before federal investigators built a bribery case against him. And at the Gangplank Marina next door, the disgraced congressmen Bob Ney, ...

(09-26) 17:38 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- Until this week, Missouri attorney Charles "Chep" Hurth III was best known for a headline-grabbing incident a decade ago in which he bit a young female law student on the butt in a bar. Now Hurth, the city attorney for New Haven, Mo. (population 1,800), is the agent for a deep-pocketed group that donated $175,000 to fund a Republican-backed effort that would reshape the landscape of presidential politics in California. Hurth has emerged as an unlikely lead player in connection with the ballot measure that seeks to change the way California allocates its Electoral College votes in the presidential election. His actions on behalf of the group ...

Judge to Rule Next Week on Idaho Senator's Bid to Drop Plea EDINA, Minn., Sept. 26 -- A Minnesota judge reacted skeptically Wednesday to Sen. Larry E. Craig's bid to withdraw his guilty plea to disorderly conduct in a Minneapolis airport restroom, asking why the Idaho Republican should be allowed to renew his defense. Hennepin County District Judge Charles A. Porter said he would not rule on Craig's request until next week, and Craig softened his pledge to resign from the Senate by Sunday if his case was not resolved, announcing that he would remain in office "for now." "Today was a major step in the legal effort to clear my name," Craig said. "The ...

A Feeling I'm Being Had I was happy to hear that NYC didn't allow Iranian President Ahmadinejad to place a wreath at the WTC site. And I was happy that Columbia University is rescinding the offer to let him speak. If you let a guy like that express his views, before long the entire world will want freedom of speech. I hate Ahmadinejad for all the same reasons you do. For one thing, he said he wants to "wipe Israel off the map." Scholars tell us the correct translation is more along the lines of wanting a change in Israel's government toward something more democratic, with less gerrymandering. What an ass-muncher! Ahmadinejad also called the holocaust a ...

John Bresnahan over at The Politico reports that a federal grand jury has subpoenaed House payroll records for Ed Buckham, formerly ex-Rep. Tom DeLay's (R-TX) chief of staff.

Buckham, as DeLay's bag man, has long been considered the key to prosecutors building a case against DeLay as part of the Jack Abramoff investigation. The vise has been closing on him for quite some time. But Peter Stone reports in this month's National Journal that ...

Eve, was ordered Wednesday to spend the next 13 years in prison for repeatedly molesting a 6- year-old girl last year and infecting her with an incurable form of herpes.

Drury noted that the prison term “may be a life sentence” for Freeman because he has been treated for lung cancer for the last two years and is in need of a ...

Paper had questionable emails year before reports Raw Story held emails for want of second source Former Republican congressman Mark Foley, whose e-mails and instant messages caused uproar and became the butt of a thousand jokes, might have scored yet again. According to ABC, Florida laws may spare the congressman because of the state's three-year statute of limitations. Florida did not start a criminal investigation of Foley until November 2006, making it "nearly impossible to prosecute" an explicit instant message Foley sent to a 17-year-old high school student in 2003. Who's to blame? House Republican leadership, for one, who had knowledge of Foley's ...

But Radar found a ray of sunshine for Louisiana Sen. David Vitter. Turns out he's not as kinky as you've been led to believe! After Vitter's telephone number was discovered this summer among the records of the so-called "D.C. Madam," the rumors about his sexual proclivities really started flying.

Hedge Fund Power! It turns out that tax breaks for Wall Street moguls are a civil rights issue. Who knew? Friday, September 7, 2007; Page A20 IF YOU'RE lobbying to keep a tax break, rich white guys making astronomical sums by investing other people's money aren't the most sympathetic clients -- especially when they're paying taxes at a lower rate than firefighters and teachers. So the private-equity and hedge fund industry has come up with a cynical new approach, arguing that raising their taxes would hurt women- and minority-owned firms and dampen investment in needy urban areas. Among those providing funding for the new group, called the Access to Capital Coalition, is ...

The recent bathroom sex scandal involving Republican Idaho Senator Larry Craig has become a political hornet's nest. However, to those who are privy to the real-life goings-on among the political elite in Washington, D.C., this comes as no surprise. Extracurricular sexual activity in Washington, D.C., is about as uncommon as thunderstorms in the summertime. The element igniting the fires of the media and the public in general, however, is that the Craig scandal involves another Republican legislator and homosexuality. You see, Karl Rove and Company (along with their willingly gullible Christian pastor accomplices) have convinced rank-and-file conservatives, many of whom are ...
