True that!

My point is that I hate when we play the "Democrats are ALWAYS right and republicans are always wrong game (or vice versa)." Just call a spade a spade.

Again, those were just off the top of my head and I just remembered another one: David Paterson, current Gov. of NY. I'm sure there are others, I just don't care to look.


I just want to make sure you have the facts straight. Paterson is still Gov of NY so he obviously didn't resign, Newsom didn't resign, Clinton didn't resign, Edwards didn't resign (he had already removed himself from the Presidential race), and Condit didn't resign. Only Spitzer and Hart resigned, not 'all but one' like you stated.

Edwards and Clinton have continued to be active in politics since their affairs were made public. Clinton remains popular among some democrats and Edwards gave an interview last week in which he stated, "What happens now? If you were to ask people during the campaign who's talking most about [poverty], it was me. There's a desperate need in the world for a voice of leadership on this issue. . . . The president's got a lot to do, he's got a lot of people to be responsible for, so I'm not critical of him, but there does need to be an aggressive voice beside the president."

I guess he thinks the world needs him. Doesn't sound like a resignation to me.

...and don't try to make this a partisan thing. It's a SCUMBAG thing. I could give you a few examples of the infidelity of prominent Democrats from off the top of my head:

Bill Clinton
John Edwards
Eliot Spitzer (Gov of NY involved in Prostitute Scandal)
Gary Hart (Ran against Bush Sr. in '88)
Gary Condit (The guy involved in the Chandra Levy Murder Scandal)

...but Republicans ARE on a roll right now. Pitiful.
Gavin Newsom (Dirtbag Mayor of San Freaksisco)


Yes, the Republicans are on a roll NOW compared to the list you provided. This is the second such incident in so many weeks where as the examples you listed are old news. I mean come on, Gary Hart? That was over twenty years ago! Yes, Democrats do get caught up in a mess like this, but the difference, as in the case of Spitzer, they RESIGN or step aside (as all but one of your examples did). Ensign, the mens room toe tapper Craig, prostitute and diaper aficionado David Vitter stay on, despite the wishes of their constitutes. These examples are off the top of my head as well, but a big part of why I remember them is because they happened with in the last two years or less.
As fair as it being a partisan thing, if Al Gore’s home’s carbon footprint and his use of private CO2 spewing jets are fair game in the “Who’s a Hypocrite Game” , then any Family Values politician that acts like this is fair game as well. You know, that thing about what people in glass houses should avoid doing.

BTW Gary Hart did NOT run against Bush in 1988. Hart didnt even make it past two primaries.

This was a good flick... you can rent it from NetFlix as 'Alien Nation' (1988)

The republican party has been moving further and further to the right, and it's a good reason for the more moderate republicans to abandon the party.

Firstly - the Republican party has been going further LEFT since 1988. Blue Dogs, RINOs, and 'compassionate conservative' Republicans have pulled the party to the point where it is indistinguishable from the Democrat party on many fundamental issues. Not, all issues of course. But certainly enough when you can EASILY say that the party is more liberal in 2009 compared to 1989 or 1999. To state that the Republican party has been drifing further 'right' is complete and utter baloney.

And second of all... Specter is not now and NEVER was a 'moderate' Republican. What a joke. Specter is a liberal RINO and he's been that for decades.

I know why Democrats and news pundits are doing this. They want it to look like Poor Mr. Innocent 'Moderate' Specter was abandoned by the evil hardcore rightwing Republican party. Boo hoo - what's a 'modeate' to do? Sob - guess all people who say they're 'moderate' better become Democrats...

Except that's total BS.

What is really happening is that Specter is a LIBERAL. And since he acts more like a liberal democrat, he is getting de-pantsed in his primary by a more conservative cantidate... He's losing because he behaves more like a Democrat when he was supposed to be Republican.

He isn't losing because he's a moderate being abandoned by right-wing radicals. He's losing because he is a left-wing radical being abandoned by moderates.

He was involved in a nasty motorcycle accident in 1988 where he skull fractures and suffered permanent brain damage, which is also apparently why his left eye has slowly sunken to where it is today.

But the space-cadet side was already set in back then, though. Check out this interview from the set of Predator 2 (1990).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostitution_in_Nevada

Nevada law requires that registered brothel prostitutes be checked weekly for several sexually transmitted diseases, and monthly for HIV; furthermore, condoms are mandatory for all oral sex and sexual intercourse. Brothel owners may be held liable if customers become infected with HIV after a prostitute has tested positive for the virus.[7] Women work a legally mandated minimum of nine days for each work period.[8]

Since 1986, when mandatory testing began, not a single brothel prostitute has ever tested positive for HIV. The mandatory condom law was passed in 1988. A study conducted in 1995 in two brothels found that condom use in the brothels was consistent and sexually transmitted diseases were accordingly absent. The study also found that few of the prostitutes used condoms in their private lives.[10]

Jim Cramer funded and managed his own hedge fund from 1987 to 2001 (Cramer & Co.)He's actually been pretty successful. A week before the stock market crash in '87, his future wife (a Steinhardt trader) advised him to sell everything, so he broke even while the S&P 500 took an 18% loss. Cramer & Co. gave its clients a higher yield on their money than the S&P or the Dow Jones Industrials average every year between 1988 and 1996. In 1993 he also became a columnist for SmartMoney, a new personal finance magazine. This became an issue in 1995, when a front page Washington Post story charged that the Cramer & Co. hedge fund had made $2.5 million as a major stockholder in three thinly traded small companies whose stock soared in value after favorable mention in a SmartMoney column by Cramer. Moreover, Cramer had bought large amounts of shares in these companies after submitting the column to the editors but before the magazine reached readers.

>> ^Psychologic:
I wonder how they would test whether you're driving "under the influence". They can check for metabolites, but I wonder if there is a good way to test for active THC in the blood.
Either way, I hope it passes. People will use it whether it is legal or not, but it would be nice to stop clogging the prisons with, and taking the money of, non-violent weed smokers. Taxes > Fines.


In 1990, the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) reported that 12.8% of those involved in fatal truck accidents showed signs of cannabis use in postmortem examination. However, that statistic is an unreliable indicator of the effects of cannabis on driving performance in a majority of those cases. A much larger NTSB study published in 1988 found that those drivers using only cannabis accounted for 2.2% of fatal accidents. That report concluded, “THC plays a relatively minor role in fatal traffic accidents as compared with alcohol.” - whole article, http://www.cannabismd.net/psychomotor-skills/

OK, this song was stolen from Fergie, (as noted), BUT, Fergie stole it first from JJ Fad, an all girl rap group from the 80's. they put out one album and disbanded after one year! (Yup, I had the cassett Tape - Im Def, lol)

"Supersonic", their hit of 1988, and their song "Eenie Meenie Beats" was re-worked by Fergie into her single "Fergalicious" -Wikipedia
