51. Thank you for your support of RFK Jr.
But the real story here (which the media is NOT covering) is not Caroline's poorly-managed campaign, her withdrawl from consideration, or even who leaked the lies about her.

The REAL question the media needs to be asking is:

WAS THERE A PAY-FOR-PLAY SCHEME IN THE NY SENATE SEAT PICK?

Based on our initial investigation, the answer is a big fat YES.

And yet, all they blather about is Blago. On and on and on....all Blago, all the time.

Blago is being impeached for even suggesting such a transaction (even though the transaction was never actually completed).
Paterson did accept $50,000 from Gillibrand's former law firm on Dec. 23, 2008, while the race was still very much on.
Paterson did wind up appointing Gillibrand, thus completing the transaction.

Now if that ain't pay-to-play, I don't know what is.

It's illegal, it should be proven, and Paterson should be impeached. Period.

This also calls the legitimacy of Gillibrand's senate appointment into question. Why didn't senate Democrats make a big fuss over seating her like they did with Roland Burris (who apparently made *no* suspicious contributions to Blagojevich's coffers)?
