Emails show FBI investigating
Sen. Bob Menendez for sleeping
with underage Dominican prostitutes

Daily Caller, by David Martosko

Original Article

Posted By:StormCnter, 1/25/2013 5:49:57 AM

Documents published online for the first time Thursday indicate that the FBI opened an inquiry into New Jersey Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez on August 1, 2012, focusing on repeated trips he took to the Dominican Republic with longtime campaign contributor and Miami eye doctor Salomon Melgen. TheDC reported in November that Menendez purchased the service of prostitutes in that Caribbean nation at a series of alcohol-fueled sex parties. The documents, which The Daily Caller had obtained hours earlier from an anonymous source, also indicate that Carrie Levine, research director at Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW),

The word, "Democratic" in the first sentence? This is obviously not one of those guvmint propaganda-spreading news sources.

Judging from the performance of congress and the rest of the obama administration, this sort of thing is no doubt widespread amongst our leadeship. Menendez was just careless enough to get caught.

Now we have to learn to say, President Menendez. Nothing stirs the passion of the low information voter like deviant sex.

Underage prostitutes are an oppressed minority, hated and discriminated against by selfish, bigoted Republicans. Let´s keep focus on the real story here, how ´bout it?

You´re telling me that Bob Menedez had to pay for sex; are you next going to tell me that Bawney Fwank´s boyfriend was getting more than one type of Fannie compensation?

We can only hope that twenty years ago Bob knocked up one of his hookers with twins, and she named them Lyle and Eric.

Menendez is the incompetent creep that was handed the job when the other corrupt jackass Corzine vacated the seat to become Gov. The brain-dead NJ voter contingent rewarded both Corzine and Menendez by re-electing Menendez in 2010 to another "illustrious" 4-year term in which he does nothing.

Folks, which is worse? A guy molests his daughter and gets twenty years in prison,does the time and has to register as a sex offender for over a decade upon release or a politician who travels thousands of miles to have sex with underage prostitutes at someone else´s expense, does it multiple times and gets away with it scot free and never has to register? Both are wrong, but which is the greater crime and tragedy? Who goes to prison now days? Joe Bloe or a Senator? The system is not just nor is it justice.

Hopefully this will derail the burgeoning career of his daughter, "Democrat Strategist" Alicia Menendez. She´s one of those hack talking heads who appears on Hannity or O´Reilly and regurgitates the the 0vomit Party Line. One of her trademark jabs at the GOP is that it doesn´t respect or care about Latinos! Isn´t that amazing?! Hey, Alicia, apparently your pig-faced father is also pretty hard on Latina juveniles! Talk about LOW, the article stated that he even renegs on the agreed upon fee for services after he´s done the dirty deed. He´s sewer scum.

Conveniently, if he could somehow be extricated from his Senate seat, Chris Christie can then appoint Newark mayor Cory Booker to complete Menendez´ term, thereby eliminating Booker as a challenger in the upcoming New Jersey gubernatorial race. Since it´s obvious that Booker is on the Regime´s fast track, I foresee Menendez being ousted from the Senate. I imagine his disgusting sexual predilections may have been practiced on U.S. soil at some point in his life, and he may ultimately be convinced to voluntarily fade away after he receives an offer he can´t refuse.

A good example as to the treatment of liberals as opposed to conservatives. Menendez has no worries. First, any criminal action must go thru the justice department and Obama and Holder will be sure to squelch any advancement of that. Second, there will be no effort on the part of the MSM to delve into the accusations or even legitimate charges. If The Daily Caller or FoxNews tries to cover the details the Democrats will cry "POLITICS!" And the MSM, entertainment, and liberal judges will jump into action.

Menendez must be chuckling over it all.

As we know, if he were a Repub, the drum-beat would have begun long ago for his ouster.

The media would have picked it up immediately, we would never get a break from it, the cameras would haunt him, the comedians would ridicule, Dem/Lefties would harrass and harrangue.

He would be hounded out of office. And all Rs would be tainted and smeared by association.

Menendez is an evil little man. Move around some of those rocks and weeds, we´ll most likey see much more and even uglier stuff.

But hey! what difference does it make? think: Teddy Kennedy manslaughterer; Bawney Fwank and his Hot Bottom male prostitute "room-mate´s" "parking tickets" and Gerry Studds, getting underage male pages drunk and molesting.

Ted Cruz Seeks to Ban Illegal

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, a newly elected Republican with a penchant for making headlines, filed an amendment that would bar undocumented immigrants currently living in the United States from ever earning citizenship. There are an estimated 11 million people living in the country illegally, and a bipartisan immigration reform measure would create a pathway to citizenship over the course of 13 years by requiring those people to pay penalties and back taxes, as well as learn English. Conservatives opposed to reform decry the path as amnesty, but Democrats say they will not support

Federal education officials today slammed the door shut on UMass Dartmouth´s appeal to release academic and financial records of alleged Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, according to a letter received by the Herald. "From the limited information you provided, it appears that the academic and financial records that have been requested would be protected by FERPA, and that the University may not release them without the consent of the student," wrote Dale King, director of the Family Policy Compliance Office for the U.S. Department of Education.

WORCESTER — Police and officials at the funeral home where Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s body is being held say that a plan has fallen apart to bury Tsarnaev at a state prison. According to two officials at the Graham Putnam Mahoney Funeral Parlors with knowledge of the plan, the plan was hatched on Monday, and police from the city where the prison is located met with funeral home officials Tuesday. The plan, which called for moving the body to the prison during the early morning hours, fell apart sometime Tuesday, the officials said.

Republican Rep. Darrell Issa said Wednesday, as the oversight committee he chairs launched into a high-profile hearing on the Benghazi attacks, that the whistle-blowers giving their version of events are "actual experts" on what happened -- who could challenge the administration´s narrative. As the hearing began, one whistle-blower questioned Wednesday why more military assets were not deployed sooner during the Benghazi terror attack. Mark Thompson, a former Marine and official with the State Department´s Counterterrorism Bureau, said he was rebuffed by the White House when he asked for a specialized team -- known as a FEST team --

Former GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney got under the craw of the liberal intelligentsia concerning his remarks about marriage during his commencement address to graduates at Southern Virginia University last month: This is a promise: “Launch out into the deep, and your nets will be filled.” How do you do that? Well, getting married is one way to launch into the deep. I’m so glad I found Ann when I was still so young. Combining your life with another person, particularly someone—men and women as different as we are, this combination is tremendously challenging and enormously rewarding.

Last month, the American media had a brief moment of accountability when many in the press and broadcast networks acknowledged that they had largely ignored the case of Kermit Gosnell. The trial of the murderous Philadelphia abortionist flew below the radar for weeks. But some journalists were willing to fess up to the fact that their lack of interest in a sensational crime had something to do with their lack of comfort in discussing a case that might throw a shadow on an issue most in the media see as pitting an enlightened advocacy of “choice”

It started with reports that former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra O´Connor had second thoughts on the court´s decision to rule on the issue of George W. Bush v. Albert G. Gore, followed by dedication of the George W. Bush Presidential Library in Texas. Together, those events brought on a flutter of Gore nostalgia, a longing of sorts for his alternative presidency; the dream one that never took place. Since 2001 it had been the destination of choice in liberal fantasies, wherein Saddam Hussein was contained without bluster or bloodshed, terrorist attacks were derailed

Dan Foster, a young staffer at National Review, published a 2010 story about a class-action lawsuit against the federal government that resulted in "the waste of billions of dollars" and "systemic fraud implicating top federal officials." He wrote that the scandal touched President Obama himself, that countless payouts were made to people falsely claiming racial discrimination, and that more fraud was likely in successor lawsuits filed on behalf of women and Hispanics. Two days after the National Review story appeared online, Nancy Scola, a progressive journalist, commented on the same suit at The American Prospect. "This is one of those times

Fugees singer Hill, 37, was sentenced to three months´ jail followed by three months´ home confinement for failing to pay $500,000 to the taxman in the United States.

WASHINGTON — As the administration struggles to put in place the final, complex piece of President Obama’s signature health care law, an endeavor on a scale not seen since Medicare’s creation nearly a half-century ago, Democrats are worried that major snags will be exploited by Republicans in next year’s midterm elections. Many Democrats also want to see a more aggressive and visible president to push the law across the country. This week Mr. Obama is returning to the fray to an extent unseen since he signed the law in 2010, including a White House event

Three kidnapped young women were starved, repeatedly raped — and then beaten when they got pregnant — in a basement Cleveland dungeon run by three twisted brothers, law-enforcement sources said yesterday. The tortured victims were imprisoned in a dilapidated, white-clapboard home with chains mounted to the ceiling for about 10 years before finally escaping Monday evening. Michelle Knight, 32, Amanda Berry, 26, and Gina DeJesus, 23, were treated as sex slaves — kept chained and taped in separate rooms, sources told the local ABC affiliate. They were also seen naked and on dog leashes in the back yard, according to USA Today.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was looking to strengthen ties with Russia as he tries to put an end to the dictatorial regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria, but instead he was met with the coldest of receptions. Russian President Vladimir Putin kept Kerry waiting three hours before their meeting at the Kremlin on Tuesday and continuously fiddled with his pen as the top American diplomat spoke about the ongoing crisis in Syria. Kerry’s visit to Moscow comes as he seeks Russian help in ending Syria´s civil, telling President Putin that common interest in a stable Middle East

When it first became clear that the CIA’s Benghazi talking points had been altered, many of us viewed the White House as the prime suspect. After all, it served President Obama’s political purposes to claim, at the height of a political campaign in which he was taking credit for the fall of al Qaeda, that the death of a U.S. ambassador was down to spontaneous outrage over a video, rather than pre-planned terrorism. It turns out, however, that the State Department was the prime culprit. It was State that pushed back hard against the original talking points.

Republican lawmakers, who have spent months seeking to tie President Obama to last year’s deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, are increasingly focusing their probe on a new target: former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton. The GOP-led investigation of the Sept. 11, 2012, assaults that killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others now centers heavily on the State Department and whether officials there deliberately misled the public about the nature of the assault. Three State Department officials are scheduled to testify before a House committee on Wednesday about the Benghazi attack and its aftermath.

If ponies rode men and grass ate cows, And cats were chased into holes by the mouse … If summer were spring and the other way round, Then all the world would be upside down. Once in a long while, an event evokes one of my favorite historical images: the British Army band, at Lord Cornwallis’ surrender at Yorktown which sealed the Americans’ revolutionary victory, playing “The World Turned Upside Down.” In this case, the event is the dramatic change over the past two weeks

The Seattle Police Department collected more than 700 guns during a buyback in January, and now city officials have a plan for what to do with them. Mayor Mike McGinn is expected to announce Tuesday that they´ll be melted into bricks carrying messages of peace, and the bricks will be placed around the city. The buyback program was announced a month after last December´s elementary school massacre in Newtown, Conn., by city leaders sick of hearing about gun violence. Private sponsors including Amazon.com contributed tens of thousands of dollars

Former Gov. Mark Sanford completed the trail to political redemption Tuesday with a win over Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch to reclaim his old seat in Congress. Sanford defeated Colbert Busch 54 percent to 45 percent, according to full unofficial results. Turnout was heavier than expected, with about 32 percent of the district’s 455,702 registered voters casting ballots. Sanford, who has never lost an election, returns to the 1st District seat he held for three terms from 1995-2001. It’s a remarkable comeback for a man many pundits had written off after his highly publicized affair with an Argentine

Top ABC News editor Don Ennis walked into his Manhattan office on Friday in a “little black dress” and a brunette bobbed wig and announced to colleagues that from now on, he would like to be known as Dawn. The 49-year-old father of three said he’s splitting from his wife of 17 years to become a woman, or Dawn Stacey Ennis, as she is now known on her governmental records. “Today I begin anew,” she wrote on her Facebook timeline, where she debuted a flirty new profile picture. “Please understand: This is not a game of

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, tells Benghazi witnesses that "death is a part of life." CUMMINGS: And, as I listen to your testimony I could not help but think of something that I said very recently -- two years ago now -- in a eulogy for a relative. I said that death is a part of life, so often we have to find a way to make life a part of death. And, I guess the reason why I´m saying that, going back to something Mr. Nordstrom said, he wanted,

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee took to the House floor Monday night and implied that the right to health care and education exists in the Constitution. Ms. Jackson Lee, Texas Democrat, also made the case that the moral authority for such services is also derived from the Declaration of Independence. “One might argue that education and health care fall into those provisions of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” she said. Ms. Jackson Lee added, “I think that what should be continuously emphasized is the president’s leadership on one single point: that although health care was not

The AP called the race for Sanford early in the evening, with the Republican leading Colbert Busch 54 percent 46 percent.

“We´ve had a tough go of it this last year,” Cumulus CEO Lew Dickey said Tuesday morning. “The facts are indisputable regarding the impact certain things have had on ad dollars." Dickey told analysts on the earnings call that his radio empire’s revenue was down $5.6 million in the first quarter of 2013 on top of a boatload of debt. Why? Parse the weasel words (“the impact of certain things”) and you’ll see that Dickey is blaming one man for the precipitous decline of right-wing talk radio’s profitability: Rush Limbaugh. El Rushbo is still a giant in the industry,

British physicist Stephen Hawking has dropped plans to attend a major international conference in Israel in June, citing his belief that he should respect a Palestinian call to boycott contacts with Israeli academics. The University of Cambridge released a statement Wednesday indicating that Hawking had told the Israelis last week that he would not be attending "based on advice from Palestinian academics that he should respect the boycott." University officials said they had "previously understood" that Hawking´s decision was based solely on health concerns — he is 71 and has severe disabilities — but had now been told otherwise by Hawking´s office.
