Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

The willow is too close to the house.

This blog will pay for itself.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

After roe, women are no longer free.

Joe Lieberman disappointingly reemerged to remind us that he’s still alive.

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Bark louder, little dog.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

A consequence of cucumbers

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Second rate reporter says what?

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Weapons Inspector By Day, Pedophile By Night

Check out Scott Ritter:

Channel Six News has learned that Colonie Police arrested former UN Weapons Inspector and Delmar resident Scott Ritter two years ago as part of an Internet sex sting operation. Sources say Ritter was charged in June of 2001 for trying to lure a 16 year-old girl he met online to a Burger King. But that 16-year old girl was really a Colonie Police investigator. Sources say Ritter was charged with a misdemeanor, but the case was adjourned in contemplation of dismissal and a judge sealed the record. Ritter searched Iraq for weapons in the years following the Gulf War. More recently, he’s been speaking out against President Bush’s policies on Iraq and has been a frequent contributor on national and local newscasts, including Channel 6 News.

Is that a missile in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me, Mr. Ritter?

Seriously, though. Why was he not charged?

    >Seriously, though. Why was he not charged?

    Think about it for a second.

    The police, FBI, etc. If they put together a “sting” – don’t you think they’d know how to do it LEGALLY?

    If the “stories” were TRUE – then you know and I know there’s NO WAY Ritter would NOT have been charged.

    But he wasn’t, was he?

    Here are your options:

    1) he didn’t do anything illegal

    2) the police did something that wasn’t legal in the “sting” making one wonder why did they bother in the first place (Hmmmm…) or

    3) post a rant about this groundless charge, pretending you know SOMETHING about the case and let the world read your libelous header: “Weapons Inspector By Day, Pedophile By Night”

    If I were Ritter I sue your ass BIG TIME
