 Dear me, how does one respond to this.   The guy gets a little testy when he's challenged.   I guess just point out the errors and contradictions.   No need to comment on the name calling.  

 

Are you really that stupid mallcontent? Campaign committees? Really? The challenge was for politicians....

 

You apparently don't recognize politicians when you see or hear them.    Who do you think runs a political campaign if not politicians?    Didn't you recognize John Mitchell, former Attorney General, and Maurice Stans, former Treasury Secretary?   They were politicians as were the rest listed.   These are not the interns who answer the phones.   Isn't Ms. Napolitano a politician?

 

you are the one that digressed to cabinet members, not me.

 

We were discussing political scandals.   Look at the title "U. S. History of Political Scandal".    Scandals involving cabinet officers count as political scandals.   I did not digress, merely offered some examples.

 

Now you digress to mere committees?

 

Still no digression for the same reason as above.

 

You stupidly asked for three from a single cabinet...I gave you four. Yes...by the most simplistic math on earth, that WAS a victory to your challenge, brainiac.

 

Four still made the ratio of Republican scandals to Democatic scandals a little less than 2 to 1 rather than the 3 to 1 asserted before.   You want to claim victory for "proving" that?   Fine, I'll accept that 3 to 1 might be a little high.   But that was  comparing only two adimistrations at the cabinet level only, one R and one D.   There's much more, such as the campaign committee members I listed.

 

But like I said...the original challenge was not yours, but birds, and it is not limited to "cabinet" or "committees". 

 

Here you say "not limited to cabinets or committees" and then you carp about me going beyond them.   C'mon which is it?    Make up your mind.

 

Ya just gotta control the emotions, mall...stay on topic. 

 

I'm still pretty calm and on topic, political scandals.

 

If you want your own post, then make one, but quit hyjacking birds.

 

If it's Birds then let Bird police it and you stay out of it.   I was tempted to say shut your mouth but that would make me too much like you.

 

 No one is talking cabinet anymore because I beat you. Please move on.

 

I have moved on, to presidential campaign committees.     Now find that one Democratic campaign committee to match Nixon's in scandal and corruption.   Then we can move on to White House staffs.  

 

 

No thanks...I'm awaiting bigger fish with posts and stats that actually may mean something. Revelations that had cause and effect; not trivial slander such as you relish in. Besides, I won your challenge...the rest have had no impact on anything. I just like the fact that we all now know we can push your buttons and how predictable you are.

 

And I thank you...

You gotta give Mallbird credit.....she/he is fiesty.  However, it looks like this is turning into another Florida election.....he/she will keep changing the rules until by whatever means it takes, he/she gets the results he/she is after, just like those Democratic rascals in the sunshine state.  Didn't work then, probably won't work this time.  And then it will no doubt be "your fault" because you wanted to play by the rules. 

 

It's fascinating the way their minds work.

he/she will keep changing the rules

 

Could you be so kind as to post those rules.   I don't recall any and especially any that I agreed to.
