From the Mind of Abouna

Do to a slight foul up the poll results never showed up. I need to ask each of you to please retake the poll, and hopefully it will work this time.

Golden Pig Award:

Three Winners this week

Nancy Pelosi’s Son on InfoUSA’s Payroll:

Last week, I posted a blog telling how Bill and Hillary Clinton have been receiving money from InfoUSA, an organization that sells personal information about unsuspecting individuals (mostly elderly) to groups that steal money from these individuals. Today, I want to report that, the House of Representative’s bastion of moral accountability, Nancy Pelosi’s son, Paul Pelosi, Jr., is on the payroll of InfoUSA – even though he has no experience in the company’s main business activities.

Paul Pelosi, Jr., has acknowledged he has been taking trips on corporate jets provided by provided by InfoUSA. Just four weeks after Nancy Pelosi became Speaker of the House this past January, Vinod Gupta, founder of InfoUSA, hired her son as a senior vice president, being paid $180,000 a year.

A person familiar with the arrangement says that Gupta treats Pelosi as a “trophy” and has the Speaker’s son accompany him at high profile meetings around the country.

Oh Give Me a Break!

Hillary claims: “Faith got me through Bill’s infidelities.”

Once again this shameless twit shows that she will say any thing, true or not, to get herself elected.

Presidential candidate and former First Lady, Hillary Clinton said Monday that she probably could not have gotten through the trials and tribulations of her husband’s infidelities if it wasn’t for her faith in God. (Oh good grief, give me a break).

“I am very grateful that I had a grounding in faith that gave me the courage and the strength to do what I thought was right, regardless of what the world thought,” Hillary told a forum where the three leading Democratic presidential candidates talked about faith and values. (This woman really knows how to lay it on thick and she has no shame).

Clinton did say that talking about her religious beliefs did not come naturally to her, (of course not, when you really don’t have any and you are just trying to B.S. the people).

Last but not least:

This last GOLDEN PIG award for this week is going to be shared by Congressman William Jefferson (D-Louisiana) and with fellow democrat members of the House and those who shamelessly re-elected him (lets just call it the Golden Pig and Piglets award).

The head of the Washington based organization that promotes ethics in public life says the indictments handed down to Congressman William Jefferson this week were long overdue. If convicted Jefferson could face more than 200 years in prison.

Jefferson was indicted on charges of racketeering, soliciting bribes, and money- laundering in a long-running bribery investigation of business deals he tried to broker in Africa. Approximately two-years ago, Jefferson was videotaped taking a $100,000 cast bribe from an FBI informant. Following this, investigators found $90,000 of this money in cash stuffed in a freezer in Jefferson’s home (this gives new meaning to “Cold Hard Cash”).

The indictment against Jefferson is 94 pages long, covering 16 alleged violations of federal law that could put the honorable congressman in prison for up to 235 years.

Now, Nancy Pelosi has two choices, she can ask for Jefferson’s immediate resignation or she can come forward and explain to the American people why she spent a whole year using the “culture of corruption” charge to get elected.

I am including some of his fellow democratic House members in this award because they made the statement that Jefferson should not have to resign because he hasn’t been convicted yet and it would deprive his constituents of their representation in congress. Too stinking bad, there are such things as special elections to name a replacement, and besides, those same congressmen/women called for the immediate resignation of republican members of the House who were accused of wrong doing.

The people of his congressional district are included in this award because they re-elected Jefferson even after being presented with the evidence against him. Ken Boehm of the National Legal and Policy Center said: “I don’t recall ever having an instance where we had a videotape of somebody taking a bribe. He took a $100,000 bribe, they were marked bills, and $90,000 of that money was later found in his freezer. And so, yes, the evidence is very strong.”
