Duvall, Michael
• unawareness of that cameras were capturing boastful descriptions by of simultaneous sexual escapades with two female lobbyists ("So, I am getting into spanking her. Yeah, I like it," to give just one printable example) leads to apology by ("I deeply regret the comments I made in what I believed to be a private conversation"), then to resignation by from the California Assembly (where, of course, family values had been staunchly espoused by) and then, since the law might look askance at trading votes for sex, to a ridiculous denial by ("My decision to resign is in no way an admission that I had an affair or affairs. My offense was engaging in inappropriate story-telling")

With Michael Duvall, we have either an adulterous hypocrite who is a corporate whore or someone who somehow got elected when he is nothing but an immature little man who is so pathetic that he felt the need to boast of his sexual encounters.

Bagojevich, for all his faults is exactly what Chicago wanted, and in the fine tradition of its machine politics (light turn on and the roaches run for cover), is exactly what Illinois got, just as it's been for such a long time. Sure wish Obama would fix it but walking into a hot mine field like that is suicide and let's face it, it's a testament ot Obama survival skills that he could even emerge from Chicago politics in tact. I think Blago actually thought with his Kennedy-esque hair and political connections that he should have been the candidate not Obama.
And his book is probably spot on, or have you not heard of the similarity between sausage making and politics?
In california, Duvall may have indeed been "just makin' it up", I know guys do that as a form of fantasy bragging and would never do that if it were being broadcast, so I'm sorry, like I'm sorry a lot of things have happened; his election being number one, and his hairdo number two (get the pun?).
Big food? Ha! Don't forget that margarine and crisco were foisted on us by the same groups, medicine and agribusiness as being for our health! Bacon is healthy, Lipitor is not.

Now I totally understand why I got so many threatening calls from Ohio politicians when I was trying to organize against subprime lending years ago. I was messing up their S and M dates. I just thought I was threatening their lobby money.

Oh, jeez. Froot Loops as a "smart choice"? Kelloggs must be spreading graft around even thicker than the sugar. Every since they tossed Michael Phelps overboard, sales have been down. There's hardly been a week when most of their products aren't on sale here in Canada. Several store brand copies of Kelloggs' products have vanished from the shelves, too.

"I am so upset that I got caught."

I guess there are more politicians that I thought that don't understand the age of electronics and hot mikes.
