Shocker: Democrat accuses three other Democrats of being corrupt

We can’t even remember the last time a member of one party singled out other members of his own party the way former Senator Russ Feingold is doing.

This is one of those “man bites dog” kind of stories. That is, it’s not news when a Democrat calls a Republican corrupt, but it is news when a Democrat calls other Democrats corrupt.

Former Senator Russ Feingold seems to want a few other Democrats to be former Senators

The Hill offers up the surprising story:

Former Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) has tabbed two Democrats and Independent Sen. Joe Lieberman (Conn.) as fit for “shame” for being too beholden to corporate interests.

Feingold, the former liberal senator who leads a new PAC called Progressives United, singled out House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) and Lieberman (Conn.), an independent who caucuses with Democrats, for a close relationship with corporations.

“This culture of corporate influence and corruption is precisely what we at Progressives United want to change. So we’ve decided to take on those legislators who are unwilling to stand up to corporate power, and we’re naming names,” Feingold wrote in an email, asking for $5 donations to “shame” those lawmakers with online ads.

Call out the Republicans, too, Russ. Clean out the swamp. It’s about time someone actually does the job Nancy Pelosi said she was going to do.

This is what’s known as a preemptive strike

Republican Ron Johnson is kicking incumbent Democrat Senator Russ Feingold’s ass in Minnesota’s Senate race (he’s up by 7 points in the latest Rasmussen poll). This commercial demonstrates why.

Republican Ron Johnson is kicking incumbent Democrat Senator Russ Feingold’s ass in Wisconsin’s Senate race (he’s up by 7 points in the latest Rasmussen poll). This commercial demonstrates why.

Unlike some recent campaign commercials, it has no hilarious dialogue, no special effects, no lumberjacks, no buckets of water being thrown on witches.

But we love the way it preempts the attack you know is coming from the Democrat.

Democrat Senator Russ Feingold explains why his poll numbers are in the toilet. It’s Bush’s fault.

Here’s a clip of Schultz interviewing embattled Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold, who comes up with an interesting theory as to why his poll numbers suck. It’s Bush’s fault.

Poor Ed Schultz has turned into the mother lode of political comedy lately. Don’t get us wrong – it’s all unintentional, but that doesn’t make it any less hilarious.

Here’s a clip of Schultz interviewing embattled Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold, who comes up with an interesting theory as to why his poll numbers suck.

Schultz: Senator Russ Feingold joins us tonight here on the Ed Show. Senator, good to have you with us tonight. You know, you have been one of the most hard-working guys out there. You do over 70 town hall meetings a year. What are you hearing in Wisconsin? And why are you polling below 50%?

Feingold: Well, this is a year of challenges because of the mess that was left us from the Bush years.

“It’s Bush’s fault,” Feingold said before leaving the Improv stage. “Thank you. Thank you very much. I’ll be here all week.”
