Today's talking point

For A$a, it's drug abuse.

It really did work when he was head of the DEA didn't it? Not to mention Mena when he was a US Attorney.

Asa's buddy in Izard County needs some help, but with a legal drug, alcohol.

"The chairman of the Izard County Republican party, Sanders L Wyatt, was arrested over the at 3:00 a.m. Sunday for resisting arrest, fleeing on foot, public intoxication, and driving left of center. Additional charges are pending."

Have we heard anything out of Hunkahillbilly in a while?

Pollster Pleads Guilty to Making Up Results
AP
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (Sept. 7) - The owner of DataUSA Inc., a company that conducted political polls for the campaigns of President Bush, Sen. Joe Lieberman and other candidates, pleaded guilty to fraud for making up survey and poll results.


Tracy Costin pleaded guilty Wednesday to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Costin, 46, faces a maximum of five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 when she is sentenced Nov. 30.

As part of her plea agreement, Costin agreed to repay $82,732 to the unidentified clients for 11 jobs between June 2002 and May 2004. DataUSA is now known as Viewpoint USA.

According to a federal indictment, Costin told employees to alter poll data, and managers at the company told employees to "talk to cats and dogs" when instructing them to fabricate the surveys.

FBI Special Agent Jeff Rovelli said 50 percent of information compiled by DataUSA and transmitted to Bush's campaign was falsified, the Connecticut Post reported Thursday.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Edward Chang said on several occasions when the company was running up against a deadline to complete a job, results were falsified. Sometimes, the respondent's gender or political affiliation were changed to meet a quota, other times all survey answers were fabricated.

So, Asa! and drug abuse.

Is he fer it or is he agin it?

Sorry, editing here. "over the weekend"

Br549-what a fat dumbass. Check your facts on Wyatt. All charges were thrown out due to false allegations. Also, it wasn't at 3:00- Paper said so, but that was "doctored". Your tongue wags like a dog's tail, your breath stinks, and you are ignorant. Spout off some more and show your stupidity.
