I love our Roman Empire

Pete Domenici, the retired New Mexico senator, announced to the Albuquerque Journal today that he fathered a son out of wedlock more than 30 years ago, keeping the child's existence and identity a secret at the behest of its mother, Michelle Laxalt. Who herself happens to be the daughter of another Senator—Nevada Republican Paul Laxalt.

At her behest, right.

To keep him in his job, period.

[g5jamz]

Both had a vested interest in keeping it quiet. Both senators would've been without jobs soon thereafter.

This makes the Jessie Jackson Jr scandal look tame.

Men can still be dogs, if they are a Senator or a janitor.

How so?

What the Senator did was wrong, but what Jackson did was a felony. Thats a bit more serious.

Jessie Jackson Jr is a corrupt criminal POS. This senator, I don't know anything about him or his voting record. If he voted like a homophobe or played that family values holier than thou card then he's a hypocrite POS. If not then who really cares.

Well, looks like he was disgusted with Clinton getting a BJ

I know you libs have a hard time remembering things...but BJs aren't impeachable offenses. Lying to a grand jury is. The "lie" could be anything, but when specifically asked something and you purposefully lie.

Nevermind...you have your soundbite line.

You seem to care enough to start a thread of one sen that happened 30 yrs ago. Yet not for one that is more recent and involves stealing money from people he is supposed to be helping.
Just try to be even handed.

Was the daughter an underage hispanic?

Or am I missing your Menendez thread...

[Panthro]

So ...vilified on one side and excused on the other. typical hypocrites from the party of "family values"

[g5jamz]

He's not in office anymore...or we'd be asking for his resignation.

Flip your statement around Panthro...are you condoning underage prostitutes serving Dem politicians?
