Re: All Things Duane "Dog" Chapman

If he can type out "Contituents" on Taxpayers stationary... then I can say Congressinal on HT can't I?

But of course! Although, having the .pdf as you do so...

... you would have thought that would have been an easy typo to catch

Re: All Things Duane "Dog" Chapman

...the question that I can't believe wasn't asked is, would they have signed if given that opportunity? That is, do they or don't they oppose the extradition for Mexico? I get the feeling, from their silence, that they'd rather pretend the issue doesn't exist, or actually feel the extradition is warranted for foreign-policy or trade reasons. But if it's the latter, they should at least have the guts to say so.

Not if it’s not in Abercrombie’s best interest to stay silent, and in Case’s best interest to avoid rocking the Democratic boat any further. We need an *ahem* former 2-year Ka Leo EIC to step in and ask the tough questions.

It's also possible that Abercrombie and Case respect international treaties, the separation of powers and the rule of law.

Nah, couldn't be that.

Well, like I said, one can make a reasonable case against fighting the extradition, but Abercrombie and Case aren't doing that. Then again, it doesn't sound like anyone has actually asked them. How they can get a quote about being left out of the Republican letter but neglect to ask whether they would have signed if given the chance is pretty ridiculous.

Aunty Lynn, you've got Case's ear... how 'bout asking for a straight answer?

True, being a Democrat on a letter signed by 23 Republicans would've added more fuel to the DINO claims against Case... but then again, he's a lame duck right now, anyway.

Nah. I no like badda him. As far as he being a "Lame Duck"...may I remind you, he is still Congressman Ed Case till January 2, 2007. For me and his supporters ~ he'll be back and so will we!

He ain't no Lame Duck.

You already did, to get the non-answer PDFs sent to you. Don't think it could hurt, since you seem convinced that he is on Dog's side.

If it looks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck, it's a duck. He's basically going to be working on transition planning and packing up his office over the next three months.

But being a "lame duck" isn't all bad -- it's also a position that allows an elected official to do things that they wouldn't otherwise be able to do out of fear of political ramifications (i.e. the rash of pardons that generally marks the last official acts of an outgoing president). Since the man's on his way out the door, I don't see why he shouldn't come right out and say where he stands on the extradition issue. He'll upset people either way, but like the best lame ducks, it wouldn't matter anyway.

I asked Ed to "help." He didn't say he was for or against Mr. Chapman. He did find out per my and other's requests.

Lame Duck is goes both ways.
Political or Non-Political!

No, love, but you implied as much when you started the Case part of this discussion:

Just wanted to let everyone know dat a Democrat was also helping Mr. Chapman and his men.

Lame Duck is goes both ways.

Quack?

Re: All Things Duane "Dog" Chapman

Cynicism alert!

If Chapman goes to jail in Mexico and/or (more to the point) his show goes off the air, then 99.9% of the US public will forget about him as soon as (or before) the next "hit" program takes up their attention. Whatever happens to Chapman, I think that in a few years, when/if he decides to try again at politics, Case's silence regarding Chapman will be a non-issue. Why should he bother?

To put it charitably, the fate of Chapman is a fickle and fringe concern.

Applause to you, Doug. IMO, an accurate analysis.

Which makes the official letter of protest signed by 23 Republicans in D.C. especially interesting...

Could dog have a political career backed by republicans down the road???
Would voters vote him in... ala Arnold in Cali?

Re: All Things Duane "Dog" Chapman

Ha! Wait... you're serious?

In this hypothetical, which office does Chapman run for?

Re: All Things Duane "Dog" Chapman

Why...Dogcatcher, of course.
