Tom Harkin Is A Crook

While this blog was on hiatus, the Iowa Association of School Boards scandal hit.  There was a post in early April about Tom Harkin's association with funding overpaid crooks like the IASB's Maxine Kilcrease, just like Harkin was involved with funding overpaid CIETC head and convicted criminal Ramona Cunningham and others a few years back.

In today's update by Clark Kauffman in the DMR, I was able to get filled in on recent developments.  Here's one of them from the sidebar:

Since July, when the Iowa Association of School Boards was made subject to the state's open-records law, The Des Moines Register has made four formal requests for IASB documents that have yet to be fulfilled:

SEPT. 14: The Register asked for e-mails between IASB officials and Michael Perik, a Rhode Island businessman whose companies have collected more than $6 million from IASB, and Sen. Tom Harkin. Perik is a financial supporter of Harkin, who has routed $12 million in federal grants and earmarks to IASB. The association is refusing to turn over the records since they were created before July 1 when IASB was made subject to the open-records law.

Through a state lawmaker, IASB has asked the attorney general for a legal opinion as to whether pre-July records must be disclosed.

And of course there's today's developments involving altered bills and longtime Des Moines lawyer and Democrat water carrier Nolden Gentry.

It seems like a rinse and repeat of the CIETC scandal, doesn't it? Except that Archie Brooks isn't banging anybody.

Yet.

How long before Chet Culver, in his waning days as governor, appoints Jonathan "I'm Gay" Wilson to whitewash everything?

I can tell you one thing, the taxpayers will get taken to the cleaners on this one.  For sure.

And what about Senator Tom Harkin, the crook?

When are you Republicans in Iowa going to stand up and kick Tom Harkin in the ass on a daily basis?

What about you Independents?

What about you Democrats who hate scandal, fraud, waste, and abuse?  Or does political affiliation trump all of that?

Yes, Tom Harkin needs to have his ass kicked on a daily basis.  Tom Harkin is a crook.  He's wasted millions and billions of our tax dollars.  He's involved with scandal after scandal.  He needs to be removed from the Senate and put in prison for the rest of his life.  He is destructive, a liar, a fraud, and a hypocrite.

How come you girls are afraid to call Tom Harkin what he really is?  HE'S A CROOK!  He's a crook of the People's money.

I just don't get it.  How come Senator Crook isn't scandalized?  How come he doesn't need to hire a lawyer?  How come nobody talks back to him in the media?  How come we don't have banner headlines every day on what a thief he is?

Instead we have column after column in the DMR about whether or not Sarah Palin in going to run for President.  Who gives a shit?  We have a goddamned thief as a senator!
