If I get sued and lose, I’m pretty sure if I don’t have the money, the court will take my house, my cars, whatever I have of value…why will this piece of trash get off unscathed?

This is really good news to finally see him being held financially accountable. Too bad he is not a Republican he would lose all his committee seats and he would be urged to resign. Democrats appear to wear their shame as a badge of honor, too bad they have none.

...Robert Fulghum, a Seattle resident who wrote several books including “All I Really Need To Know I Learned in Kindergarten.”

This is the most true statement from a liberal, about liberals, EVER! They know public schools are an unmitigated failure so when one of their own tells the truth, it's treated as a joke. I'm sure all of the illiterate high school grads are laughing about the jobs they can't get. You know, the ones for the rich liberal elitists that go to private school to learn to read and write?

I wouldn't mention spitting on this site. It's a touchy subject.

I seem to recall that Linda Tripp was indicted and fired from her job for taping her own phone conversations with Monica Lewinsky. She did it for her own protection. She was being asked in a threatening manner to lie under oath on behalf of President Clinton and she wanted proof that she was telling the truth when she testified.

Jim McDermott released to the press, without permission from either party, an illegally taped cell phone conversation. Shouldn’t he at least lose his job as well?

The left villified Linda Tripp for what they said was a violation of privacy. But the fact that they couldn’t care less about McDermott violating someone’s privacy proves that the real reason they were outraged at Linda was because she provided proof that Clinton had lied under oath.

Rep. Boehner should put a lean on Mc D’s assets until all the money is paid! That would frost his goat!

Dear Mr. Majdi Daher:

I suppose it’s a real gutsy person that publishes the contents of a legal and private conversation. Too bad your scummy congress-critter, mcdermot, thinks that terrorists should have more rights than Americans!

Around 200 years ago, it was said that the Unitarians believe in the fatherhood of God, the brotherhood of man and the neighborhood of Boston.

Having lived in this area for far too many years (I live within spitting distance of the Unitarian Church that Robert Fulghum calls home — not that he shows up there that often anymore), I assure you McDermott will have no trouble raising the money. A single $1000/plate dinner, maybe throw in a photo-op with the jerk, should do the job nicely — the well-heeled, America Worst crowd, and there are a lot of them out here, is guaranteed to show up and put his money worries to rest. Actually, he hardly needs any money at all for his re-election campaign — his is one of the safest seats in the country.

I mention the Unitarian Church because, for reasons that escape me, I actually checked it out a couple of years ago. If one cares about America, it is impossible to endure these people. They worship Fulghum, who abandoned his infant daughter for his worthless literary career, and McDermott equally. This is particularly distressing to me because two of these church members I had deep regard for and considered them my friends. Oh well. Flush, indeed.

The fine print here is the money raised to pull McDs sorry behind out of the swamp he voluntarily dove into is going to end up in GOP pockets.

IMHO, the folks in Seattle ought to find it in their hearts to let him hang out to dry and use the money to elect someone a bit more reasonable — you know, someone only 5 notches blue from center instead of McDs 10 or 20 notches…

Yet again, no personal responsibility on the part of a liberal. Everyone who is surprised jump up and down on one leg until all your pocket change falls into his legal defense fund.
