Lest We Forget: Senator "Mr. Clean" Feingold's Antics

You never know. Sometimes politicians recycle themselves, believing that they are "needed" by the rabble. RussRuss Feingold, now leading parades in EntitledTown, seems to think that he's Entitled to another Senate run.

Maybe we should know who his friends are, eh?

...What if Secret Donor Money -- funneled through a 501(c)(3) tax exempt non-profit with no obligation to reveal its donors -- was used to influence not just your run-of-the mill election, but a sitting United States Senator as he ran a Senate confirmation hearing of a federal judge? An official constitutional duty of the United States Senate?

What if that United States Senator secretly influenced by that Secret Donor Money were named Russell Feingold, Democrat of Wisconsin?...

That would be "Campaign Finance Reform" Feingold? Mr. Clean-Jeans, himself?

...What if that Secret Donor Money was used to supply Secret Research Senator Feingold was secretly using to defeat that Bush nominee for the federal judiciary? And what if Senator Feingold repeatedly and secretly (so he thought) plagiarized his questions to the nominee -- from the secret document purchased by Secret Donor Money secretly supplied by those Secret Donors?

You mean the jackwad/attorney couldn't even write his own damn questions? I thought he was the Smartest Guy in the Room!

You prolly already guessed who the "secret" donor was, right?

....Sitting in for Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy of Vermont, Feingold grilled the nominee. He questioned Smith using questions supplied from a secret strategy memo put together by lobbyists for three left-wing special interest groups all receiving funds from the George Soros-run Open Society Institute. The OSI, in turn is a 501(c)(3) -- which means it both takes money from outside donors and does not reveal who those donors are. The Soros-funded groups who researched and wrote the secret memo on Smith were: The Alliance for Justice, the Community Rights Counsel, and the Earthjustice Legal Defense Fund.

Feingold, "Mr. Clean Jeans", wasn't alone in reading Soros-supplied questions.

...The leaked secret memo was also found to have been used in questions to Judge Smith from Senators Patrick Leahy, the Judiciary Committee Chairman; then-Committee member Senator Maria Cantwell, the Democrat from Washington state.

Senator Ted Kennedy had three of his five questions supplied by the group; and then-Senator Joe Biden -- the man now making accusations about secret donor money coming from foreigners -- used four questions supplied by Secret Donor Money.

And if you get the idea that none of these bozos was smart enough to ask their own questions, that's only HALF of it. They also needed a floor-director to signal their moves for them:

Alliance for Justice lobbyist Nan Aron was in the hearing room that day. She informed one person -- personally -- that her task was to walk back and forth in the back of the room to send a signal to Feingold and other Democratic Senators and their staff of just how interested the Soros-funded group was in the Smith nomination. All of which meant that not only were Feingold's questions supplied by Soros, but he was apparently taking signals from a Soros-funded lobbyist through her physical movements in the hearing room

Obviously, Feingold wasn't the smartest person in THAT room.

And it's not likely that he's the smartest person in Entitled Town, either.

He certainly isn't the cleanest.
