Reid's Top GOP Challenger Indicted

Nevada Republicans suffered a serious blow Wednesday when their first announced challenger to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) was indicted on four counts of misappropriation and falsification of public records.

The charges, handed down by a Clark County grand jury, accuse Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki of committing the crimes when he he was state treasurer. Krolicki's then-chief of staff, Kathryn Besser, was also indicted in the case.

The Republican Badge of Honor, contempt for law.
Law exists to keep the little people in line.

I guess the Republicans are off to a good start.

[stardot]

So if I look good, and spread the message that I hate Dems, I Love Republicans, and go to church now and then, 40+ % of the public will give me money and vote for me?

Wow.

[Mahi Joe]

These Repubbies really have to get a better vetting procedure than they are currently using.

[quindy]

You can vet as much as you want, but the republicans are all crooks. That's why we read stories like this every day.

[vinny]

reid is a twirp

[protagonia]

Agreed, but Republicans are thieves and liars.

[Shadow08]

...another day another republican indicted. So, what's in the news today?

[Judyisacutie]

Gee wiz! I'm running low on popcorn!

Ask for a case on your Christmas List to Santa as it's not long now. Free delivery to your house & you'll be set again to watch the last weeks of the White House drama including Bush's pardons!!!

Well, this guy won't be the last GOPer to fall on his sword. Somebody should've told him not to believe Tom DeLay when he said he'd delivered a "Permanent Republican Majority" to America! That's the only reason I can think of that would 'make' these upstanding conservatives misbehave so. You know, if you think that the only people who can 'catch' you doing illegal things are other folks just like you, then I guess its okay to 'crime' a little bit. After all, its just Money!

Why do the Republicans continually dismantle government to suit their skewed ways?

This JERK steeling from the schools!!! Give him a TIME OUT!!!

From "The Hill'-

"The charges, handed down by a Clark County grand jury, accuse Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki of committing the crimes when he he was state treasurer. Krolicki's then-chief of staff, Kathryn Besser, was also indicted in the case."

"Krolicki could face a maximum of 16 years in prison on the counts, which revolve around the Treasurer's office bypassing budget controls on a statewide college savings program, according to an audit conducted last year."

Woooopppppsss!

I hate it when my leading contender gets his arse charged with a crime,....

[MissKaren]

If ever there was a situation calling for the word "Whoops," this is it.

[bluguy8]

well when are the witches going to get sarah Palin ? she's so overdue--

[Indie2008]

Krolicki calls it a "witch hunt". What is it with Republicans and witches?

[separatingwheatfromchaff]

I didn't know he was a witch too,I thought they called male witches something else.

[jimme]

Yes, a Warlock.

[Rog49Thomas]

Let me remind you that only one party is equipped to protect America from the scourge of witches and demons which has plagued our nation since well before its founding

Brother Jindal is a certified (maybe self-certified) exorcist

Sister Sarah is a twice anointed demon caster and witch hunter

And it is a known neocon fact (just ask Rush or Sean) that God frequently speaks with Republicans

[weatherwaxx]

Great picture ... everything just slipping through his greedy little fingers...
