Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, February 20, 2013

Former Sen. Pete Domenici (R-N.M.) has revealed that 30 years ago he fathered a child out of wedlock with the daughter of fellow Sen. Paul Laxalt (R-Nevada), which he and the mother agreed to keep secret. Domenici, 80, and Michelle Laxalt released statements to the Albuquerque Journal acknowledging that he is the father of her son, Las Vegas lawyer Adam Laxalt. Domenici has been married for five decades to his wife Nancy and they have eight children. "One night's mistake led to a pregnancy 30 years ago," Michelle Laxalt said.

Good question, Tor. Makes you wonder if his son or a newspaper were making noises about it.
But the kid turned out to be an attorney with a life of his own, and these days similar children are just aborted. Sad.

Because there are no consequences and no threat to a career. Coward.

Love the start of these stories at WaPo on corrupt politicians:

"Former senator Pete Domenici of New Mexico, a Republican, disclosed Wednesday that he has a son born in secrecy over 30 years ago."

"Former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., holding back tears, entered a guilty plea Wednesday in federal court to criminal charges that he engaged in a scheme to spend $750,000 in campaign funds on personal items. He faces 46 to 57 months in prison under a plea deal with prosecutors"

"Maureen O'Connor was a physical education teacher who won a seat on the San Diego City Council when she was only 25 years old, later winning two terms as the city's first female mayor as she charmed voters with a populist flair." (Yes, this is a story about this Democrat stealing millions and a HUGE gambling problem LMAO!!!)

As usual, "must not mention the D word". And we wonder why Democrats think Democrats are not as corrupt as Republicans.

I hardly think a shill for Fox "News" can lecture anyone about what Democrats think.

Nice work if you can get it!
