"Dirty money"
Utah Democrats are livid that Rep. Chris Cannon hasn't given back a campaign donation by disgraced ex-Rep. Mark Foley, who resigned his seat in a brewing cybersex scandal. Cannon told the Deseret Morning News that Foley was "irritating" and you didn't need "gaydar" to know he had certain proclitivites.

"Wow. So, if this is really how Mr. Cannon feels, how come he takes Mark Foley's money?" responded Utah Democrats spokesman Jeff Bell in his blog.


"You heard me, he takes campaign donations from Mark Foley. Not even Senator Hatch, who seems to take money from ANYONE and ANYTHING hasn't taken money from Foley (that I've found), and they're pals.

"So, put on your junior detective hats and hit those pesky FEC reports and when you find MARK FOLEY'S DIRTY MONEY, give Mr. Cannon's office a call and ask him to donate it to the Children's Justice Centers or just resign. You know, whichever."

Bell doesn't note how much Cannon took or when he took it. So, for clarification, Cannon accepted -- drum roll, please -- $500.

In 1997.

That would be five to six years before there is evidence that Foley conversed with the teen-age congressional pages.

Just sayin.

My head is still spinning ... this dream i had last night....about Matheson, the congressman with the evil eyes.

Anyway, he was at this church preaching about why we have to kill irakis and he was almost frothing at the mouth, with spit flying everywhere, and hunstman was slipping him little sacks of money....

and it became apparent that mathescum is really a neocon working in collaboration with goldjones to keep idealistic liberals so stupid that we support mathescum even though he represents everything we despise.

how does Goldjones do it ... i mean..... sway the entire idiot left (avenues and univ. quarter) to support scumbag war crimes collaborating non gitmo investigation b------ mathescum.

so in this dream .... i start looking around and the faces of all these long term salt lake movement "leaders" like ralph's pecker start morphing into greedy little pigs, actual pigs, and they started sexually grabbing the nearby women and shouting "we are more equal than you".

i started running to get away and i was so scared... and finally these old farmer type gram and gramps picked me up and then all their sons were there, in overalls, but really strong, agressive men with beards, and they went out and started smashing in the heads of the "morphing pig leaders" with plastic baseball bats ...... but the heads were empty except for oatmeal mush...and the old lady told me to never have another abortion, to support my husband in all things, to mother my children properly and not let lesbian teachers near them...and then i woke up in such a calm tranquil state.

I am not voting for mathescumj.

wow, that was a strange post. But meaningful, at least in some ways.

You know ................that matheSCUM is a disgrace. He is just a republican. Does he do anything to support democrat principals? Has he done anything against this war in irak?

Who is his opponent? Is he that fat, i mean bad?
