Best Political Debate Ever!
 
From WGN. Maybe all debates should take place in a church lol. BTW I thought churches could not be political. Maybe Braun doesn't count. The reactions of Chico and DeValle are absolutely priceless. Sorry about the 15 sec commercial. the city's version of 'Housewives of Chicago'

Did Mosely Braun say her oppenent was part of a 'cult' in addition to being a crackhead?

Pretty much

But....

In fact, America’s bottom ventile is still richer than most of the world: That is, the typical person in the bottom 5 percent of the American income distribution is still richer than 68 percent of the world’s inhabitants.

Now check out the line for India. India’s poorest ventile corresponds with the 4th poorest percentile worldwide. And its richest? The 68th percentile. Yes, that’s right: America’s poorest are, as a group, about as rich as India’s richest.

I used to like CMB when she first came on the scene years ago. Now, not so much.

I'm talking the late 1970's and early 1980's. She did some good things in the state legislature. Now she just acts crazy.

Always back to the Carter Days with You LOL FYI after she was a States Atty who refused to do her job she:

Moseley Braun was the subject of a 1993 Federal Elections Commission investigation over $249,000 in unaccounted-for campaign funds. The agency found some small violations, but took no action against Moseley Braun, citing a lack of resources. Moseley Braun only admitted to bookkeeping errors. The Justice Department turned down two requests for investigations from the IRS.

In 1996, Moseley Braun made a private trip to Nigeria, where she met with dictator Sani Abacha. Despite U.S. sanctions against that country due to Abacha's actions, the Senator did not notify, nor register her trip with, the State Department. She subsequently defended Abacha's human rights records in Congress. Her former fiancé Kgosie Matthews, who also served on her campaign staff (in violation of U.S. immigration regulations), had been a lobbyist for the Nigerian government; Matthews would later leave the country. She had paid Matthews, a native of South Africa, a salary of $15,000 a month during the campaign.

In 1998, after George Will wrote a column reviewing the allegations of corruption against her, Moseley Braun responded to Will's comments, saying that "I think because he couldn't say nigger, he said corrupt," She also compared Will to a Ku Klux Klansman, saying "I mean this very sincerely from the bottom of my heart: He can take his hood and put it back on again, as far as I'm concerned." Later, Moseley Braun apologized for her remarks.

BTW What I don't understand is her tax returns reflect less than 10K in compensation but nothing from being a Senator? Find out who she sold the pension to and CMB better go back and blow her fiance Kgosie Matthews.
