CNN.com reports on a salacious political scandal from New Jersey. It seems that Charles Kushner, a "real estate developer and political fund-raiser," has been charged with "conspiracy, obstruction of justice and interstate promotion of prostitution":
The indictment alleges that Kushner initiated "a scheme to orchestrate a covert videotaped seduction" of the cooperating male witness in an attempt to thwart the investigation.
The indictment says Kushner recruited two individuals to hire a woman to have sex with the male witness and later instructed them to mail the videotape to the man's wife, who was the other cooperating witness in the investigation.
Hmm, so he's a political fund-raiser. For which party? we wonder. Well, there's nothing about it in the first paragraph, or the second, or the third, or . . . Ah! There it is in paragraph 13:
Kushner contributed to the campaigns of several prominent Democrats, including Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York, Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts and Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, according to FEC records. . . .
Kushner was a top fund-raiser for New Jersey Gov. James McGreevey, a Democrat, said the governor's spokeswoman, Kathy Ellis.
The Associated Press manages to outdo even CNN; its 18-paragraph dispatch on the story makes no mention whatever of Kushner and McGreevy's party affiliation.

Truth II
Seems that the John-John tour can't seem to be truthful either. The Washington Post, again not your conservative paper, in an article entitled "Kerry Vows to Restore "Truth" to the Presidency", highlights a couple of the more recent Kerry/Edwards lies in one story!
First this section of the piece:
President Bush has governed in a dishonest fashion, trampling values on every issue except fighting terrorism and leaving voters "clamoring for restoration of credibility and trust in the White House again," John F. Kerry and John Edwards said in an interview. ...
"We have not stood up and attacked our opponents in personal ways," Kerry said.
This week alone, Kerry has criticized Bush personally in speeches for lying, professional laziness, waiting until right before the election to indict Enron Corp.'s former chief executive, Kenneth L. Lay, lacking values and even having worse hair than the two Democrats. Some advisers are privately counseling Kerry to tone down his attacks on Bush.
And secondly from last weeks XRATED, Profanity laced Campaign fundraiser that Kerry and Edwards had time for, but didn't have time for a Homeland Security Briefing. This section from the piece about the crude campaign fundraiser:
Whoopi Goldberg delivered an X-rated rant full of sexual innuendoes against President Bush last night at a Radio City gala that raised $7.5 million for the newly minted Democratic ticket of John Kerry and John Edwards.
Waving a bottle of wine, she fired off a stream of vulgar sexual wordplays on Bush's name in a riff about female genitalia, and boasted that she'd refused to let Team Kerry clear her material. ...
Singer John Mellencamp sang a specially written song that called the president "just another cheap thug" and ridiculed him as the "Texas bambino." ...
Also on the Bush-bashing team was comedian Chevy Chase, who claimed the president is dumb as "an egg-timer" and said Edwards will make Vice President Dick Cheney look "as bright as a bundt cake" when they debate next fall. Latin comedian John Leguizamo said he refuses to believe there are any Hispanic Republicans, claiming that's "an oxymoron," because "Latins for Republicans - it's like roaches for Raid." ...
Kerry could be seen laughing uproariously during part of Goldberg's tirade - and neither he nor Edwards voiced a single objection to its tone when they spoke to the crowd. They hailed the fund-raiser as a great event. Edwards said it was "a great honor" to be there and insisted, "This campaign will be a celebration of real American values."
And what was Kerry and Edwards reply when questioned about the mean spirited and vulgar event:
The Democratic nominee and his running mate said it was that kind of anger toward the president that prompted entertainers at Thursday's Democratic fundraising concert in New York to attack Bush as a "cheap thug" and a killer. "Obviously some performers, in my judgment and John's, stepped over a line neither of us believes appropriate, but we can't control that," Kerry said. "On the other hand, we understand the anger, we understand the frustration."
If you can't take control of what happens at one of your on campaign events, how will you ever control what happens in your administration?

The President told the Truth...Case Closed!
There is an old saying that those who live in class houses shouldn't throw stones. The point to be made is if you are not telling the truth you certainly should not call someone else a liar.
Well with last weeks release of the alleged (one of my favorite words) report on the CIA we have found out that Joseph Wilson the husband of the allegedly outted CIA operative (although everyone knew she was a CIA operative and had outted herself on her 2000 tax returns by using here CIA cover employment and life to claim a political donation to the Gore campaign)was and is THE REAL LAIR not President Bush. It seems that Mr. Wilson was very fast and loose with the facts on his trip to Niger.
He said that his wife had nothing to do with his being asked to go on the trip and investigate. Liar the fact is that she personally asked that he be sent on the mission.
Mr. Wilson said that his report totally dismissed the administrations claim of the Iraqis attempt to buy "Yellowcake Uranium" from Niger. Liar all the time that Mr. Wilson was making the rounds of talk shows, doing Vanity Fair articles and selling his lying book, the truth is that his report not only supported the administrations case but it bolstered the case for the state of the union statement. You know the 16 word one "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa." , the Dem's tried to use unsuccessfully to paint President Bush as a liar. Shoes on the other foot now.
Not only do the British government stand behind the intelligence but as did the British Parliamentary investigation backed up in September 2003, but this week the Butler commission in Great Britain will also confirm the evidence. The Financial Times has backed up the Niger sales to Iraq in recent days.
The Senate Report says that Joseph Wilson Flat Out Lied to the Media. You can read the Senate Report in PDF format here.
The are a number of great articles in the media today that your can read about the lies of Joseph Wilson, there is a great one in the Washington Post not a conservative Bush Administration supporter, Clifford May has an excellent piece, or just read the Senate Report.
what's done in darkness will be brought to light.
Now we know that the Dem's plan to paint the President as a liar was just that a lie and a failure, President Bush is not a liar Joseph Wilson and the DNC are the real Lairs.
