Balloon Juice - Worldcom is going to be

Worldcom is going to be a mess, and I expect Democrats to attempt to smear Republicans with this ‘big business’ tie like they attempted to do so with Enron. According to Opensecrets.org, the donations are as follows:

Since 1/31/01:

The National Republican Congressional Committee has received $ 15,700.00.
The Republican National State Election Committee has received $ 45,000.00.
The 2001 Presidential dinner fund received $ 100,000.00.

The Democratic National Committee received $ 50,000.00
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee received $ 50, 250.00

Pretty even, except the 100k donation to the dinner- not sure what that money is used for- perhaps a more sophisticated reader will have that info. I am still willing to bet that Senate Democrats will be the most vocal.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Bark louder, little dog.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.
