I'd say any cheap shot is acceptable against anyone around here - as long as it is not against another poster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 3, 2006 -> 03:12 PM) If it's inappropriate in the case of a Senator who may run for the White House, how exactly is it not inappropriate in the case of another Senator? Did Bob Dole earn over $1.5 million in differing forms from the President of Dubai, and then try to enlist someone working on Liddy Dole's staff to get them a high paying job consulting for the approval of this deal, while simultaniously saying that the deal should not be done in support of his wife's position?

As far as I know...we don't have a clue what the lobbying firm Mr. Dole works for has done in terms of lobbying for that company, because they've refused to say. Former senator Dole (R-Kan.), 82, said in a written statement yesterday that he is not going to lobby his wife or members of Congress. His law firm, Alston & Bird LLP, helped steer the application of Dubai Ports World through the federal bureaucracy over the past few months, and Dole signed on as a lobbyist for the company this week. His spokesman would not say what lobbying, if any, Alston & Bird is now doing in Congress; the firm's spokeswoman did not return telephone messages. Dubai Ports World beefed up its lobbying efforts, including on Capitol Hill, after lawmakers threatened this week to scuttle the transaction. The lawmakers said they feared that national security might be compromised by letting a Middle Eastern firm manage key U.S. ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it has to be the worst case, because of party affiliation. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
