AP: Kerry Took Money From Arrested Korean

[Pachamama]

What a bunch of BS...Maybe someone needs to email these so-called "reporters" and the AP and remind them of how many arrested "friends" Bush has received money from....including ole buddy "Kenny Boy" Lay and the rest of the Enron criminals...

AP: Kerry Took Money From Arrested Korean

By JOHN SOLOMON and SHARON THEIMER, Associated Press Writers

WASHINGTON - John Kerry (news - web sites)'s campaign collected a maximum $2,000 check from the recently arrested son of South Korea (news - web sites)'s disgraced former president, and some of its fund-raisers met several times with a South Korean government official who was trying to organize a Korean-American political group.

The Kerry campaign said it did not know about the $2,000 donation from Chun Jae-yong or his background until informed by The Associated Press and has decided to return the money to avoid any appearance of impropriety.

"We are sending the check back," spokesman Michael Meehan said.

5. Bush took money from Ken Lay, Jeff Skilling and Andrew Fastow.

Did he return it? Oh, and he used the Enron corporate jet during the Florida recount. Nothing to see here; move along.

12. Yeah, and what's THAT about? Why wouldn't they appraise the value

and consider it a donation? Good grief.

They NEED someone to give them a good swift kick in the rear.

This Enron jet hauling his fat @$$ all over the country with no strings attached is simply too damned much. It was never counted as a gift.

These Republican hogs apparently believe it's the obligation of the world to simply serve their fat @$$e$ and stay out of the way until it's time to pay the inappropriately apportioned taxes.

6. Oh for fuck's fucking sake!

Ken Lay WROTE OUR NATION'S ENERGY POLICY. Who gives a goddamn about something like this? Gee, let's go see if we can get Charles Manson to donate to Bush, then "expose" it. Christ.

10. Not to mention convicted crook Chalabi...Republican criminality

has to be 100 times worse than democrat's to get the media's attention. Fortunately for us their excess is over the ratio and is starting to get noticed.

15. The media is looking for things to beat Kerry up over - they defend Bush

Look at all of the criminals Bush takes money from - when will the media report on that?
