C-SPIN: Abramoff Pal Ralphie Reed
Amazing how C-SPIN can give this crook airtime to spew his bullshit. Let's see if he's questioned about his involvement about Abramoff or how he tries to lie his way around it.

How anyone can give this weasel any credibility shows how hypocritical the corporate media has become.

Discuss...

3. They Just Ran The Obama Ad
Of course Ralphie doesn't address the charges, but tries to slime Obama. "Old style politics"...and who was the one who made this "old style"?

Now he's saying he's innocent...it sure pays to have friends in high places.

And he just used the words "chutzpah"...and couldn't even pronounce it right...just like the phony "gentile" he is.

Hey, Ralphie, hows those Marianna Island sweat shops doing?

13. Now He's Playing The Rezko Card...
And the POW one...nice one Ralphie.

And then spins the Zobgy outlier.

Says he's "helping as a friend". Yeah, that's the ticket...not that he'd have a single thing to gain if Gramps wins.

What a sack of wasted cells.

5. Gotta Give This Weasel Credit For Having A Pair...
But then he knew he was walking onto friendly turf...and, of course, it's Peter whose gonna run interference for him.

How he can still play Elmer Gantry after what's been disclosed about him shows how stupid he believes repugnicans are.

11. Or Ducking Out On Gramps Fundraiser
They took the money and ran...and told Ralphie to stay away.

Again, he knows he can depend on his old pal Peter to let him spin and lie...he always gets the last word. And I'm sure Peter has a very quick trigger finger this morning. The first mention of Abramoff and watch how fast the next caller gets on.

I'm also trying to keep track of which lines get used...my bets are we get more "support Gramps" calls...with maybe one or two people waiting (and planted there) vs. dozens trying to get in on the other lines.

12. Tie It Into The Mariannas
How could he support a government that supported forced abortions. I'd love to see his tap dance on this one.

A bright shiny dime says he gives the "aw shucks" look and says "who woulda known".

18. They're Avoiding The Democratic Lines
I've been keeping track...it's the usual one GOOP, one "independent", one GOOP, one Democrat, one GOOP. An old trick.

And they couldn't hussle his sorry ass out of there fast enough.

17. Someone Called Him A Crook!
And asked him to square the killings in Iraq as being "moral".

Of course he's running off the same old lies and trying to prove that two wrongs make a right. Such a "holy" piece of shit.

Now would Ralhpie want to explain how Saddam got those chemicals and other weapons:



And he totally avoided the "End Times" question.

20. Did Peter ask him a single question about the emails we have
where he's bilking his followers or where he's strong arming Abramoff?
