- What's All This Talk Of Rules?!

Democrat Quote of the day comes from the always despicable Alcee Hastings:


"There ain't no rules here, we're trying to accomplish something. . . .All this talk about rules. . . .When the deal goes down . . . we make 'em up as we go along."


Just when I thought I couldn't be more disgusted...but if I was going to be disgusted by a Democrat politician, this is probably the guy. From his Wikipedia entry:

In 1981, Hastings was charged with accepting a $150,000 bribe in exchange for a lenient sentence and a return of seized assets for 21 counts of racketeering by Frank and Thomas Romano, and of perjury in his testimony about the case. <...>

In 1988, the Democratic-controlled U.S. House of Representatives took up the case, and Hastings was impeached for bribery and perjury by a vote of 413-3. He was then convicted in 1989 by the United States Senate, becoming the sixth federal judge in the history of the United States to be removed from office by the Senate.


Healthcare bill or no healthcare bill, I'll give $1,000 to the campaign of the person who runs to remove this guy.
