They are a conspiratorial lot.  It's corruption this and corporate that.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

What news is there that hasn't been said about Sanders?

That he will win the Democratic nomination.

Just when it seemed that Trump had finally been damaged. <_<

The D.C. Madam Is About to Make Her Cameo in the GOP Primary
By Elliot Hannon

There is something almost innocent about the D.C. Madam's arrival on the scene of the 2016 presidential election. It's like something out of a quainter political moment, when sex scandals could unfold in all their lurid detail without once raising the horrifying specter of a Donald Trump presidency.

For those who don't remember, the madam in question was a woman named Deborah Jeane Palfrey who was busted in the aughts for running an escort service with a high-profile client list in the nation's capital. She'd been in operation for more than a decade. Palfrey was convicted of racketeering, money laundering, and mail fraud in 2008. She committed suicide weeks later. Throughout, Palfrey maintained she had thousands of names and phone numbers in her little black book, which was unnerving news for the political set. Louisiana senator David Vitter got outed for having an affair, but the carnage on Capitol Hill was far less than giddily anticipated, in part, because the courts stepped in and stopped the sharing of the full client list.

The lawyer for Palfrey, however, appears set on changing that. Montgomery Blair Sibley recently appealed to the Supreme Court to lift a series of restraining orders that prohibited him from releasing any of the D.C. Madam's records. Why such an urgent appeal out of the blue? Sibley says it could impact the presidential election. He's terribly worried American voters are going to be misled.

"I believe the information in my possession from the subpoena returns in the 'D.C. Madam' case may be relevant to the upcoming election," Sibley told WTOP in February in an email. "As I am presently restrained by Court Order from releasing that information, I feel obligated to seek release from those restraining orders." Sibley has said that if the court denies his request, he might release the goods anyway. Some tabloid outfits are trying to beat him to the punch, suggesting that Cruz's name is the one Sibley is fighting to disclose. Conservative sites are on the case as well. Whether or not those claims are true, if history is any indicator, they'll earn a Trump retweet either way.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Are you suggesting that Bernie's a serial killer?

Nah, he is suggesting that it would be better for Cruz to be known to have been on the whorepath than dialing the zodiac.

Not really sure Cruz is the one in the sights, anyway:  he was nowhere near DC while she was in business, and she went to jail in 2008.  Cruz didn't come to DC as a Senator until 2012, after an honorable legal career defending Big Pharma and the Chinese.
Now, if there's somebody that would win "Most Likely to Be Caught in a Bus Station Restroom with a Teenager's Cock in his Mouth", then yes, I can see Cruz getting pegged on that.  LOL, "pegged"

But there could be names in that book that could affect control of the Senate...

IIRC, Cruz worked in the Bush Administration first term.

Yeah, this is going to hit House and Senate guys.

The dude says it'll affect the presidency, so has to be Cruz, Kaisch, Sanders or Bill Clinton. Trump wasn't in Washington then. Maybe not Kaisch either

I'll actually be shocked it it's Kasich. He's the kind of guy who gets so appalled by Fargo he asks Blockbuster to remove it from their shelves.
