Getting Under McConnell's Skin?Submitted by David Donnelly on Mon, 03/05/2007 - 10:24am.
The Courier-Journal in Louisville penned this editorial Friday, the day of McConnell's $2.1 million fundraiser with President Bush, saying Big Money Mitch's "political career has been based on the primacy of money" and this:
He long ago became one of the legendary money grubbers in modern American politics, in order to buy TV time for commercials that demean, disgrace and ultimately defeat his opponents.
Today, McConnell responds with a letter to the editor in response:
I have to admit that I was a bit surprised by the personal attacks in The Courier-Journal's recent editorial ("Cash over conscience," March 2). Loaded with venom and invective, it read less like a newspaper whose views I can respect even when I disagree, and more like a political opponent's blog.
Poor Mitch. I guess it's okay to run ads that "demean [and] disgrace" opponents, but not okay to point out his "fealty to the moneyed interests"?

these old friends for a long time, why did they give me money only after 1998? Obviously, because the State Drug Administration was established in 1998 and then I was given bigger power. Although these friends gave me money partly because of our friendship, they actually were thinking about my power. I am confessing here that I loosened self-discipline, ignored the bottom line. It is bribery if a civil servant receives money from a business. THX :cool:, Hye from Nicaragua. DVD to iPad,Mac iPad Converter. f Do you know any janitors or maids who have given you $1,000 or more?
