    When was Hillary ever the POTUS?

    And "on the lam" indicates he was in hiding. Apparently that's not the case at all.

    AA, Craig's from Idaho, not Minnesota.

    Yeah, Idaho's the obscure state.

    Actually, don't give the LA Times too much credit.
    The story first appeared in the Tuesday edition of the Wall Street Journal:

    That's funny, because the LA Times quotes a state attorney in LA saying as much. Guess you didn't read the story.

    What's the matter --- you get angry when you guys are called out -- and rightly so -- on this BS?

    Your problem is you haven't mentioned the political BS. You framed it as an example of liberal media bias.

    Why don't you start again and feign outrage at a fugitive raising money for a top Democratic presidential candidate? Bet you'll do better.

    Granted, I blew it on the Minnesota-Idaho aspect. But the point still stands. What, Idaho (or Minnesota) isn't important?

    Let's cut the bullshit: The facts, as laid out by the Wall Street Journal the L.A. Times, are that this guy pleaded no contest to grand theft in 1991 after stealing more than $1 million from investors. He received a three-year prison sentence, and promptly cut out of L.A. Since then, he's been a visible and generous donor to the Democrats. You can certainly question the competence of law enforcement and the state attorney in L.A. for apparently not being able to find this guy, but that doesn't change the facts. And it's not a great stretch to assume that if this guy had been a Republican donor, CNN, the N.Y. Times and the WaPo would have been all over this a very long time ago.

    Only when it comes to last year's Fiesta Bowl or ice-fishing season.

    I'll take the humor you intended, but I still think it's a rather flawed argument to call it an unimportant (or, to use your word, obscure) state. So far off the point and unnecessary that it kinda takes the humor out of what you posted.

    And I say the liberal media sat on this and didn't run it until Hillary was a viable candidate for president in order to smear her when it hurts and usher in Rudy Fred McCain.

    So how 'bout dem apples?
