Report: FBI Investigating Allegations Concerning Minn. Senator

I agree, Coleman is a sleazy political hack, so is Palenty!

The Justice Department should vigorously investigate, prosecute, and imprison these corrupt and greedy officials before they reduce our beloved country into a banana republic.

Let Al Franken take his seat. Coleman is a clown.

Just like I said yesterday…the Democrats are in the midst of a scandal so it is time to dig up a reciprocal Republican scandal. So far the Dems are still in the lead with Blagojevich, Rangel , et al., but fear not, sports fans, the dedicated media will find GOP targets to keep the heat off of their pals. By the way, I am not defending or excusing anyone, I am just sick of the partisan corruption in both parties and in the Democrat-biased media. (Last night neither ABC,CBS or NBC mentioned that Blago was a Democrat. had he been a Republican the words “Republican Governor” would have been the lead in every story.) The enemy, however, is “us”.. We keep re-electing these crooks and we constantly reject reform candidates as “too extreme” or “too strident”. If the American voter would stop voting for politicans based upon party labels and “comfort level” and start voting for men and women dedicated to the Constitution and to public service we would all be better off. However..that is not going to happen and we know it.
I will make one partisan observation. Why is it that extra ballots and extra uncounted ballots always turn up in Democrat-run precincts be it in Florida or Minnesota? Why is it that only Democrat ballots have “problems”, and why is it that only Democrats cannot “fill in the bubble” or “just vote for one candidate” or “follow the red arrow from the name to t he punch-hole”? Is there a mental problem unique to Democrats that t hey are singularly incapable of following simple voting instructions? I do not think so. I believe that the Democrat party is up to its old trick of ballot-box stuffing. Coincidence has its limits. (By the way..the bloggers who attacked the Republican party have yet to show anyone where extra GOP votes turned up mysteriously in a car trunk of an “overlooked” ballot box.)

Send someone other Franken. He is the real clown

You have to be kidding???? This is just more of the 'push' to gain Democratic control. When Coleman survived all of the ridiculous re-counts and investigations by the idiot and complete fool, Franken – the Democrats have now stepped it up another notch. Democracy is a stake here people!!! WAKE UP!

and so is reid, peloski, barney frank , chris dope, chuckie scummmmmer, jonkerry, teddy kennedy, watters, ted stevens, throw the bums out

Well you guys wasted no time playing tit for tat. Had to hurry and dig up something on a Republican that may have been accused of something. Distract from the Governor. Who just happens to not have a [ D ] after his name. But of course Coleman has the [ R ] after his. I can give you the HTML code if you want to make the font bold and red as well. “News in Context” lol

Dear Idiot posters,

Are you saying the Democrats have some control over the FBI in this REPUBLICAN administration?

Maybe politicians should start receiving CAPITAL PUNISHMENT for their crimes. Their crimes usually reach more victims than the criminal who commits capital murder.

Republican, democrat, it doesn't matter. If its proven that an elected official is corrupt, then they should be removed from office at the very least. Prosecution to the fullest extent of the law for any criminal conduct (not merely moral lapses). In classical Rome, when a public official was shown to be corrupt (taking bribes) they were put to death. We might want to consider a similar punishment for public corruption, which stikes at the heart of people's belief in their government.

Term limits for ALL politicians! No more politics as a career!

As P.E. Obama has stated – the founding fathers did not concern themselves with social and economic justice – therefore the constitution needs a major overhaul if we are to advance the progressive agenda and become a fair and just society.

Learn how to write… proof your damn blog!!!

what are you talking about?!?!? The entire US Constitution is one big document on Social Justice and Equality. Think about those times and the equal rights that they gave this new found country.

Whoops. You are correct. I did neglect to put Blagojevich's party affiliation near his name. This was an oversight, and was not intentional. The post has been updated to include this.

I would point out that TWI has covered the Blagojevich story extensively both yesterday and today.

However, I disagree with your implication that just because there is a Democratic scandal in the news, an FBI investigation of another politician, Republican or Democrat, is not newsworthy.

We will continue to cover such investigations, regardless of the affected political party.

I disaagree… just because you are a politician does not make you corrupt. That is judging someone else… however I agree with you that any one who uses their political position and commits even the perception of malfeasance or a crime should be hung by their b**ls. I think that Capitol Punishment is a little over the top!!! LOL

First off… if you commit a crime where you use your political position then you deserve to fry!!! Secondly I don't care if you have a D, R or IND after your name if you use your power to subvert the constitution or commit crimes while you are in office; well then see above!! Was that a SNAP I saw you make at the Dems for being “DUMB” Let's look at the past 8 years… they might not be able to fill out a ballot, but HOLY Sh**! They sure as hell were smart enough NOT to cause this economic mess tht we are in. TRICKLE-DOWN ECONMICS: 0(R) BOTTOM UP ECONOMICS: 3 (D) going on 4.

In my opinion CAPITAL PUNISHMENT is on par with the crimes the politicians tend to commit. How many people are put at risk every day following a leader that may very well be lying through his or her teeth. If it is subsequently proven that the leader was lying to get a certain outcome, and people died in the belief that the leader was not corrupt how is that different from what Jim Jones did? What is over the top is one politician pardoning another politician for their crimes.

That should help him get elected, he will be in good company. Senator Frank and Senator Dodd also recieved 10,000.00 dollars frm the Swiss bank that Senator Coleman got his 10,000 from. LOL

We have just got to learn to be more tolerant like Chicago. One perosn interviewed there said everybody in chicago knew that all the politicians were taking kick back money but they still voted for who they thought would do the best job.

Speaking of the FBI:

The FBI does not like George W. Bush—Bush committed too many crimes.

George W. Bush committed hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism (indicated in my blog).

George W. Bush did in fact commit innumerable hate crimes.

And I do solemnly swear by Almighty God that George W. Bush committed other hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism which I am not at liberty to mention.

Many people know what Bush did.

And many people will know what Bush did—even to the end of the world.

Bush was absolute evil.

Bush is now like a fugitive from justice.

Bush is a psychological prisoner.

Bush has a lot to worry about.

Bush can technically be prosecuted for hate crimes at any time.

In any case, Bush will go down in history in infamy.
