Democrat mayor of Charlotte arrested for corruption. Give Patrick Cannon credit for being a go-getter: only four months in office and he’d already collected a $20,000 bribe and was going back for more when the FBI arrested him.

    Why is Obama's FBI publicizing all of its raids/probes on Democrat politicians now? Answer: Clearing the decks before midterms.

    @michellemalkin
    Prediction: Obama/Holder's DOJ is saving up FBI goods on GOP corruptocrats for release right before election for maximum distraction/damage.

  • The commiecrats are getting bagged left and right for Chicago style politics. Too bad it isn't the likes of Reid, or Schumer, but maybe we will get lucky.

  • EVEN BETTER:

    A California state senator who advocated gun control legislation asked for campaign donations in exchange for introducing an undercover FBI agent to an arms trafficker and told him how to get shoulder-fired automatic weapons and missiles from a Muslim separatist group in the Philippines, according to court documents unsealed Wednesday.

    The allegations against state Sen. Leland Yee were outlined in an FBI affidavit in support of a criminal complaint. The affidavit accuses Yee of conspiracy to deal firearms without a license and to illegally import firearms. He was arrested Wednesday and appeared later in federal court, where bail was set at $500,000.

    FBI is going nuts on Demonrats! Rush seems to think it's to get the dirty laundry swept under the carpet before next election (how's THAT for mixed metaphors?!?), but like I suggested yesterday, it almost seems like there's a silent coup or revolution going on in government.

    • Looks like we won't need an election to sweep the Dumbs out of power, the FBI is doing it for us.

      • Hope Springs eternal. But don't be fooled. Its not ONLY the Dems. The GOP has had its share of nitwits. They all need keepers, like the severly mentally challenged

  • Even the naive nitwits should soon be able to figure out the reason that politicians lie, cheat, stuff ballot boxes, steal, spend millions of their own money, and if convenient kill, to get elected in order to keep the money pouring in to their personal wallets. Public servants my ass.

  • But... but... but... gubbermint officials are always honest brokers because they don't have a profit motive, dammit!

  • Every time one of these Demoturds gets arrested for briber/corruption the music that should accompany the story is "Another one bites the dust".
