<snip>
Rep. Bobby Bright (D-AL) -- the freshman Blue Dog who joked that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi "might even get sick and die" -- received campaign donations from at least three of the defendants who were indicted this week in an FBI bribery probe in Alabama, while a fourth defendant was a key supporter during his 2008 Congressional campaign, Roll Call reported.

As we told you earlier this week, eleven people in Alabama, including four current state legislators, three lobbyists and two businessmen with casino interests, have been charged for their roles in an alleged conspiracy to influence pro-electronic bingo state legislation.

Bright, one of several Democrats who have distanced themselves from Pelosi, was supported by Rep. Harri Anne Smith (I) in his 2008 race. This year, Bright has been supporting Smith, who is running as an Independent because Republicans wouldn't allow her to run as a GOP candidate, in large part because of her decision to endorse Bright, said the newspaper.

I believe this is one that the Democrats should be allowed to throw overboard? He does more damage than good.

1. I'm with you

DINOs are a big part of the problem in getting the agenda moving on down the road.

2. Why do grown men still call themselves "Bobby"?

[YOY]

3. Because we want to.

I know 2 well grown Elizabeths that go by "Lizzie". A well grown Pamela that wouldn't be called anything but "Pammy".


Signed "Bobby".

You may not like the guy but don't knit pick.

4. I'm not nitpicking, when I hear Bobby or Pammy or Lizzie or whatever I think of little kids.There ..

are some things that are just planted in our heads and they stay there and that is one of them.

For the record I don't have a clue about the guy other than what is here, so I neither like nor dislike him.
