Sheesh again,

Double sheesh is right. I mean this is nickel and dime bull****
that would never be an issue in real life being magnified under
the microscopic lens of a "gotcha" press. The guy made an honest
mistake on his taxes, a fairly trivial honest mistake, and it
would never have been brought to light had he not consented to
be a candidate for public service.

Bull on the trivial ****. They have accountants. One talk show host made a
mistake on his taxes. Claimed interest on more than a million $$ mortgage.
Cost him the extra tax, interest and an $80,000 penalty. Geitner owed over
$120k in extra taxes for failure to report income. No penalty. Seems as if
none of these slimeballs get penalized. I got penalized for $250 for
underpayment of estimated taxes the year they took 28% of my stock option
money as I was getting laid off. Paid $80k more that year than I had ever
paid in taxes. Got a penalty. It is not trivial with this level of public
"servant"

Bill, I'd agree wholeheartedly on most thus far, but not Ron Kirk on taxes.
Apparently, he never even touched the speaking fees, but rather, they went
directly to Austin College. The claim is that he should have taken the fees as
income and then donated them, taking a deduction. And yes, I understand there
is a difference, but geez Louise on a donkey, the guy never had so much as a
nickel of the money, so to make the guy take money only to donate it is, IMO,
just so much IRSBS. As to the Mavs tickets, I have no idea whether 1% OR 100%
were used as actual/"legit" business entertainment, but if it is acknowledged
that at least 60% were and that the rest were simply a lack of proper
record-keeping as to everything from the shoe size to the blood type of everyone
present, I'd be willing to allow that the bulk of it is as legit as it ever
gets.

The bottom line is that here is guy that actually is a pretty fair choice
supported by the bulk of both parties, and now the media and right-wing wackos
are painting him with, at best, the same brush as Timmy and Tommy, who actually
deserved to be painted with a tar mop...right before a generous application of
shredded fiberglass...and carpet tacks, silicone caulk, boiled eggs and
cabbage...

Then he needs a better tax man. Joe Louis had IRS problems for the same
exact reason. He did charity fights and the purses were donated 100% to the
charity. He was charged with them as income and then a deduction. You
think that the tax guy would know the rules? A mistake, but the rest of the
people get penalized for errors.

The real bottom line is the double standards by which liberals are
judged vs. the way conservatives are judged. If these picks were for
the previous administration, they would have been prosecuted and sent to
jail. There would have been no end of harsh criticism in the press.

You're talking from where most people do their farting again, Mr. Jelly.
Nobody, liberal or conservative, who makes trivial, honest mistakes on
their tax returns goes to jail.

I wonder what kind of bull**** you'd be spewing if it was a liberal
Senator who was caught doing the wide stance tap dance in the Men's
room. You'd be screaming for jail time wouldn't you ?

The wide stance Liberal that is admitted gay, and has his aid / companion
running a male prostitution ring from his house gets a chairmanship. Double
standard?

care to back that up with facts?? Or, are you just another blowhard throwing
bull**** accusations around? I'm talking about the male prostitution part,
as I don't think too many people have an issue with Congressman Frank's
sexual preference.

What in the hell are you talking about ? The only male prostitution ring
I've heard of involved James Dale Guckert aka Jeff Gannon aka "Bulldog"
who was reputed to be Karl Rove's companion. Once again, you appear to
be "factually challenged" Mr. Bill.

I guess facts have a liberal bias. LOL !! (apologies to Colbert ;-)

Bill for once you are right. Gluckert had a wide open pass to go into
the Bush Whitehouse, stay overnight, screw and whip whoever were his
customers, and according to the Secret Service, leave no record of
checking out. Over and over and over. Did the "aid/companion" have a
Whitehouse pass? Nope.

You true believers just do not get it. You just do not understand why
and how all of the corruption, immorality, and treasonous bull****
your crowd waddled in, has driven so many people, including much of
the evangelical community away from the right-wingnut hijacked
Republican Party. The Rs will start winning elections again when they
jettison the America haters.

First of all, what in the hell does Frank's being gay have to do with anything -
IOW, are you suggesting that if he had been a straight guy shacked up with a gal
running girls without his knowledge, it would have been OK? IAC, it's pretty
clear that Frank had no idea what his "companion" was up to. I'd offer that
while Frank has gotten some stuff wrong, he is, in general, a pretty decent
legislator (judging him by the standard of legislators), even though I
personally disagree with much of what he believes as far as politics go...as to
what he does in the bedroom, I don't give a tinker's damn - I'm certainly not
interested in asking (or knowing) and I'm hoping he continues to be uninterested
in telling...

HTH,
