Of course, if he can pry open any reason to de-legitimize and kneecap someone, he never skips a beat.<BR/>That being said, I also find their ruling a little perturbing. How hard is it for someone to lift their veil to acknowledge their voter Id? Will hockey goalies be next?burlivespipehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18048415779214466831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-67589606739315444282007-09-10T00:08:00.000-04:002007-09-10T00:08:00.000-04:00I'll leave the naming debate to others.

And it has the added benefit of playing on the "Accountability" angle. The Conservatives were elected nominally on a mandate of accountability, but instead gave us a Conservative accounting fraud.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12086209664270723549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-27444365956634116352007-09-09T13:54:00.000-04:002007-09-09T13:54:00.000-04:00"Con Air" sounds like a new airline.

For instance, Adscam clearly references a scam involving advertising. "Conservative money laundering scheme" or "Conservative money laundering" or even the "money laundering con" points directly to the fact that the conservatives have done something wrong and it involved the shifting a funds between different acounts. <BR/><BR/>Conservatives can twist themselves into knots explaining why it was not money laundering technically (according to them) but in doing so they would already be reinforcing the term and losing the argument. <BR/><BR/>Although I am somewhat familiar with the CONservative money laundering scheme, I would need to have it explained to me how "Con Air" refers to this situation. I might even ask myself whether "Con Air" refers to the Conservative money laundering scheme or some other scandal. What does an airline have to do with money laundering? If you have to clarify, you are already losing the argument.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12086209664270723549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-87877901551654201182007-09-09T06:52:00.000-04:002007-09-09T06:52:00.000-04:00I think we should go with "Con Air" to describe th...I think we should go with "Con Air" to describe this scandal.Oxford County Liberalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12181314055142726735noreply@blogger.com
