The Torricelli Issue

[Bret Walker]

There's something that's been bothering me about Robert Torricelli. Here he's a Democrat, which almost guarantees him my vote in November, but he's been reprimanded by by both the house and the Senate for taking illegal contributions from a guy who has been convicted of making illegal contributions...to Bob Torricelli! Now, if the guy was convicted and is serving time in Jail, then why is Bob still sitting in the Senate? I just don't fucking get it. It's like saying, well this Senator helped this convicted murderer to kill someone. The murderer is in jail, and the Senator gets reprimanded. What. The. Fuck.

What a great country this is. Those of you who don't live in the US, you're not missing out on much.

hehe whose Robert Torricelli?

[Bret Walker]

He's one of the Senators for the state of NJ. The other one is Bob Corzine. They're both Democrats, but now Torricelli is up for reelection and his Republican opponent, Doug Forester, is running a smear campaign based on Torricelli's involvement with the whole illegal contribution scandal.
