Just did an extensive search into the sordid career of the 'Honorable' Edward F. Feighan, President of the Americans for Jobs, Healthcare and Progressive Values. This is the group that ran the attack ad on Howard Dean featuring Osama bin Laden's picture.

Highlights:

Mr. Feighan was Congressman from Ohio (his Chief of Staff was George Stephanopoulos) for ten years before he decided not to run for reelection due to his being named as one of the 22 worst offenders in the House Check Kiting Scandal (397 bad checks).

Mr. Feighan was also implicated in the House Post Office Scandal (which sent Dan Rostenkowski to jail).

Mr. Feighan also sabotaged a probe of Neil Bush during the S&L scandal in the late eighties by withdrawing his name at the last minute from a list of Democrats demanding an investigation.

This and other assorted facts are detailed here

:kick:

How dare he attack one of ours like that! He is nothing but a crook.

blah! I think we can all agree that he doesn't deserve to be called a Democrat. Let's kick him out of the party.

This needs to make the rounds of all the media, DUers, and the like. Will bookmark, as proof (as if we need more) that politics as usual is gone.

The Republicans learned this a while back and thus have taken over from 94 on.

The Democrats are only beginning to realize this.

Dean knows the system is broken---it is up to the American people to fix it, by any means necessary.
