Avast! The Truth.

In February 1996, the Jersey Journal ran an article stating that then-Congressman Bob Menendez had approval from a House Ethics lawyer to rent his former business office to the North Hudson Community Action Corporation. Why does this matter? Well, as Xpatriated Texan so clearly explains to us on Blue Jersey, it's important because the Kean JUNIOR folks are going out of their way to make it sound like it was some kind of corrupt deal, when actually it's nothing of the sort.

Remember, of course, the Kean JUNIOR folks don't have a shred of evidence of a scandal- they're just trying to make it sound like there is one. Pathetic.

This swift boat is filled with bilge rats.

Gor, but them Republicans make me parrot angry. They ought to be keelhauled. The problem is that most voters don't get the facts and only listen to sound-bites before the election, so it is hard to counteract a story as full of crap as this'un. But here's the real bothersome aspect: the ones putting this story out clearly know that there "is no 'there' there", but they haven't the character or decency to run the campaign on real issues and truth. And yet they may win ont he basis of their fakery. This is very bad for NJ.

Gar, I'd like to take the crooked politicians like Junior Kean and send them all to Davey Jones's locker.

Aye, DBK. 'Tis tough when most land lubbers don't bother to learn the truth behind the sound bite. The mere whiff of scandal will have more weight- unless, hopefully, we can get the word out that the Repugs were trying to create scandal to fool the citizens of Our Fair State.

Aye, they should all be walkin' the plank.
