Coming soon to every third ad break during Maddow Wow -- has it really been 36 years since a sitting U.S. senator has faced a bribery trial? We thought that politicians from New Jersey were required to be tried for fraud or bribery or something in order to prove their residency. But yes, today marks the start of a federal trial on bribery charges for New Jersey Democrat Bob Menendez and for Dr. Salomon Melgen, an ophthalmologist pal of Menendez's who lives in Florida along with his millions of dollars. Menendez is charged with pushing legislation and doing favors for Melgen in exchange for gifts of travel on Melgen's private jet, vacations and luxury hotels paid for by Melgen, and over $700,000 worth of donations from Melgen to various groups supporting Menendez's Senate campaigns. Menendez says he and Melgen and Melgen's money are just really good friends, and that there was no quid pro quo involved, because he would have supported legislation regardless of any contributions Melgen may have made.
Baconz Ma's go to was "Dumb Jack-ASS". The plumber didn't show up on time "Dumb Jack-ASS". She got got a speeding ticket the cop was a "Dumb Jack-ASS". Pope Benidict? "Dumb Jack-ASS". George Bush? Oh you better believe he was a "Dumb Jack-ASS". The guy that manufactured her garden hose..yep a "Dumb Jack-ASS" Baconz? No doubt a "Dumb Juck-ASS" etc., etc.,
Slightly OT, but solidly in the "Who'd a thunk it?" category, my local Western PA congresscritter Tim Murphy (R-AnotherOneBitestheDust) just admitted to having an affair:http://pittsburgh.cbslocal....
Speaking of things Wonkette is less than eager to cover... seriously? Not one single word about Verrit? Come on! It's fecking comedy gold out there, and you lot are ignoring it.
There are a lot of things Wonkette doesn't write about. Because all the words and all the time and all the things. And Verrit is probably the least important of those things.Why does it chap your ass so much that there is a social media site for supporters of Hillary Clinton? Why does that threaten your manhood so particularly?
Is that based on the fact that she suspended Bernie Sanders for 2 days from NPG/VAN pending investigation after his staff stole data and Sanders lied about it, twice (according to Politifact, not me.) Or that she wrote 7 snarky internal emails about him AFTER it was mathematically impossible for him to win the nomination?
There are a lot of things Wonkette doesn't write about - true. But a tone deaf gaff as big as Peter Daou's latest pet project should never have escaped their notice and should be right up their alley. Speaking of which, my manhood remains remarkably unthreatened by Daou's swinging dick, thankyewverymuch.

Both sides do it, Democrats are the only ones that ever seem to regret it.

Eye makeup worse puns than anyone I know.

"I humbly ask that my constituents be Christ-like in forgiving me."
Given the history of other GOTP congresscritters, he will likely use the get out of hell free jeebus card and remain in politics.
And the forgiveness entitled by the belief in jeebus get out of hell free card.

We can't dance, either.

Tone-deaf gaffe?
A site that posts accurate information about a woman who has had more lies told about her than you've had hot dinners?
Seems to me that it's past time for something like that.
