Hmmm, me thinks this could be a problem for McSame
In Arizona, Mr. McCain has helped Mr. Diamond with matters as small as forwarding a complaint in a regulatory skirmish over the endangered pygmy owl, and as large as introducing legislation remapping public lands. In 1991 and 1994, Mr. McCain sponsored two laws sought by Mr. Diamond that resulted in providing him millions of dollars and thousands of acres in exchange for adding some of his properties to national parks. The Arizona senator co-sponsored a third similar bill now before the Senate.
Mr. Diamond, for his part, said Mr. McCain had only done his job. “I think that is what Congress people are supposed to do for constituents,” he said. “When you have a big, significant businessman like myself, why wouldn’t you want to help move things along? What else would they do? They waste so much time with legislation.”
ahhh, you are right. When you are rich, fuck the rules, they take too long….

I thought DV made up that quote from Diamond, but it checks out. Once again, Republicans are running ahead of parody.
Even his name Donald Diamond sounds like a character from a Brecht play. Or maybe a comic book – Lex Luthor’s brother?

You have got to see this….good job McInsane.
He also said that the Hagee endorsement was a mistake, and then said he was fine with having it. Huh?
Brian, I love that video. It’s dead on.
It happens every day in NCC and Sussex Land Use Depts. (mebbe Kent too?) Why did Chris Coons keep Baker and Haggerty who abetted Mosely’s crime?
Right now I can name a number of property code infractions that have been abetted tho not be of the scale of the Capano’s Builtmore Hotel on 1-95.
Pandora, that sounds like Obama talking about Rev. Wright!
I think that counts as constituent service only if you are a republican. I have friends in AZ who I will encourage to start asking McCain for similar favors. But the Flip Flop Express is still limping along on three wheels.
A. Bundy, I didn’t start this guilt by association game, but hey… I’ll play.
Can’t wait to hear McCain’s speech on tolerence!
