Bonfire of the Absurdities in News New Format

Menendez rushes to pay private-jet tab after FBI raid

Menendez rushes to pay private-jet tab after FBI raid. “WNBC-TV4 in New York City reported Wednesday that Sen. Menendez (D-NJ) recently wrote a $58,500 check to the jet’s owner, Florida eye doctor Salomon Melgen.” For trips he took 3 years ago. After the FBI raided Melgen’s office. It’s not corruption when Democrats do it. BTW, Menendez is in line to become chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee after John Kerry (D-Ketchup) begins leading from behind at State.

Antonio Villaraigosa is THEEE biggest dirtbag in politics that most people don't know about. This guy is corrupt as hell, & he thinks with the wrong head too often...

http://www.nationalledger.com/pop-culture-news/antonio-villaraigosa-sex-scand-179322.shtml

...basically, Villaraigosa was having marrage trouble, because he was banging a Telemundo reporter. Now, during the time when she was reporting about the Mayor's divorce, she did'nt really mention she was the side action. At least until it was forced out of her. But there are many more stories that make for fun reading...

...& please don't blow this guy off. He's being touted for higher political office, maybe Senator or President. He needs to be done away with politically speaking, & that process needs to start now.

This makes me SICK! You know what? lets just say that the teenage prostitution solicitation charges are fake (which I don't believe - he LOOKS like a pervert). The fact that he clearly cheated, and took goodies illegally should be enough to get his A) Impeached B) charged with corruption. How has it gotten to the point where we just say "oh OK" if they fix it after they are caught?
