RNC EYES WIDE OPEN

ABC NEWS--The Republican National Committee is undertaking an investigation in the wake of news that nearly $2,000 in party funds was spent at Voyeur West Hollywood, a risqué night-club in Los Angeles.

“We cater to Hollywood elite,” said Voyeur’s spokesperson. “There is a sexual prevalence throughout the club.”

How does that sexual prevalence play itself out?

“Through live art installations which feature women acting out voyeuristic scenes that any of us would enjoy,” said the Voyeur spokesperson.

The inspiration for the club was the film “Eyes Wide Shut,” the 1999 Stanley Kubrick film featuring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.

WB7--Meanwhile the Republican Governor of the great State of Florida has asked for a Federal investigation of the campaign finances of the Florida Republican Party because the Chairman chalked up personal expenses of $200,000 per year on his campaign committee credit card.

These are the same good ol' folks who brought us chad-gate.  Remember that one?

  1. Is there any justice left in the US? Anthem Blue Cross gives the executives 50%+ increases, this stupid stuff, etc. Do the little guys end up in jail and the big jerks get off Scott free? That's what it's beginning to look like.

  2. More crooked corporate stuff:

    "Why? Because any company convicted of a major health care fraud is automatically excluded from Medicare and Medicaid. Convicting Pfizer on Bextra would prevent the company from billing federal health programs for any of its products. It would be a corporate death sentence.

    Prosecutors said that excluding Pfizer would most likely lead to Pfizer's collapse, with collateral consequences: disrupting the flow of Pfizer products to Medicare and Medicaid recipients, causing the loss of jobs including those of Pfizer employees who were not involved in the fraud, and causing significant losses for Pfizer shareholders.

    "We have to ask whether by excluding the company [from Medicare and Medicaid], are we harming our patients," said Lewis Morris of the Department of Health and Human Services.

    So Pfizer and the feds cut a deal. Instead of charging Pfizer with a crime, prosecutors would charge a Pfizer subsidiary, Pharmacia & Upjohn Co. Inc."

    If it were you or me, we'd be nailed, not getting away with attempted murder by pharmaceuticals.
