Politico Is Really Reaching With This Story

Pointed to by Dailykos, a politco story tries to make hay about people who supported Roman Polanski also gave money to Obama and the DNC. How in the hell is that a story.

"Movie industry types calling for the release of director Roman Polanski last year gave $34,000 to Obama's presidential campaign and the Democratic Party, FEC records show."

What are they doing over at Politico? Do they have any clue what a story is? This ain't a story. This is so bad I am not going to link to it.

Repub Class of '94 Ain't What It Was Billed

The Politico has a good article on the class of repubs who were swept into government during the "Contract With America" class of 1994. The basis of their contract was that of family values. Turns out, a good chunk of that class couldn't live up to their contract.

Standouts from the class of '94.

1. Mark Sanford- Cheated on wife
2. John Ensign- Cheated on wife
3. Mark Foley- Uncle Touchy Feely with the DC pages

The list goes on. Another interesting tidbit. The divorce rate was high for these freshman. Now, the article does explain that congress puts a huge amount of stress on a marriage but these guys preached about family values. Was it just a slogan to get to power?
