Nebraska Republican State Treasurer Resigns In The Wake Of Misconduct Charge |

She will leave office January 6th
State Treasurer Resigns In The Wake Of Misconduct Charge
December 01, 2003
LINCOLN --
Embattled State Treasurer Lorelee Byrd resigned Tuesday.
Byrd agreed last week to plead guilty to one misdemeanor count of
official misconduct because of financial irregularities in her office.
Byrd, 47, was never accused of profiting from her actions.
Critics said she wrote some $300,000 worth of state checks -- with no
intent of cashing them -- to protect her office’s budget from a
budget-cutting Legislature.
She said she just wanted to make sure there would be money on hand to
keep the state child support payment system going in case a new
accounting system failed.
The resignation means she will avoid a virtually certain impeachment
trial in the Legislature, and likely conviction.
An overwhelming majority of lawmakers have said she should resign or
be removed from office.
Gov. Mike Johanns, a fellow Republican who first appointed Byrd to the
job in 2001, called for her resignation last week.
Byrd was elected in 2002.
She initially rejected the notion, then said she would consider it.

You know Harry Republicans really should appreciate your efforts to post
this sort of stuff in particular since it really underscore a crucial
difference between themselves and Democrats and why people shouldn't
vote for the latter.
Nobody I know has ever suggested that being a Republican prevents people
from engaging in improper conduct, that is the problem with humans in
general...
But once again we see that, whether it's Richard Nixon or some minor
state official, when caught misbehaving the Republican party will step
up and demand the wrong doer resign - where as Democrats will continue
to lie, engage in perjury, attempt to intimidate others into committing
perjury, engage in additional criminal activity to try and cover up
their original misdeeds and when finally and completely exposed simply
attack the motives of those who exposed them and refuse to admit they
did anything wrong.
Compare the case of this Republican state treasure and the outcome with
any of the myriad of crimes the Clintons engaged in, or any of the other
Democrats in Congress caught doing much worse.
It's the difference between being a stand up person and taking
responsibility and a sleazy bag liberal Democrat who thinks they are
above the law.

Bill Janklow is just the latest example of this propensity of Republicans
to "do the right thing". And let's not forget that John Poindexter and
John Negroponte are both on the Bush payola, er..., payroll. BTW, does "I
was out of the loop" or "I cannot recall" qualify as resigning? I didn't
think so.

the conditions are such that they can attack us there. My answer is,
bring 'em on."

Your paranoid delusion about what you think someone did simply doesn't
qualify as being caught...
Let's see if Janklow is convicted of anything first and if so will he
try to keep his seat and run again from a prison cell like a certain
Ohio Democrat.
In your twisted little mind every allegation against a Republican
constitutions a conviction - meanwhile Barney Frank still sits in
Congress after his gay partner was caught running a prostitution ring
out of Frank's home with his knowledge.

He was convicted. Where are the cries of righteous outrage from the
right? Why is it that rightards whine like bitches when liberals are
"caught" but liberals don't whine like bitches when conservatives are
convicted?
To his credit, Janklow says he'll resign. Still, to testify under oath
that he would "never" deliberately run a stop sign at a blind
intersection when he already almost killed someone else at that very
same intersection years ago - when he has a 20 year history of
bragging about his speeding and running stop signs - to try and cry
"I'm a victim" because he's a diabetic and was too fucking stupid to
eat all day - just another republican hypocrite. Maybe he'll end up in
the same cell block with Drugs Limbaugh.

Sounds a bit like fat drunken Teddy Kennedy! Never ride in his car near a
body of water!
Then, of course, the worst memories were combined with Silly Willie Clinton,
per John Kerry, an expert liar!
"Ah did not have sex with that women" or "It all depends upon what "is" is"?
How about "Ah did'nt inhale"!???
You democraps are all cockroaches, more concerned with your power than with
our country. You sold our industies and jobs to China, just to keep your
cockroach traitor Willie in office.

It's really astounding how often rightards do that. How many times has
some lunatic righties screamed that there hasn't been an attack on "US
Soil" since 9/11 but then when confronted with the fact that under
Clinton there was not an attack for 8.5 years (WTC in 2/93 until WTC in
9/01) they start ranting about the USS Cole and embassies. But when you
confront them with the bombings of our embassy in Pakistan and the US
owned hotel in Jakarta, they have yet another back-peddling, side-
stepping excuse. Just one excuse after another.
BTW, anyone else bust a gut this morning when they read that Rush
Limbaugh is a "victim of a fishing expedition"? Christ, the hypocrisy is
so think you can barely see through it.

Right, were he a dim-o-crat he'd have driven home and slept it off the
way Teddy did. Metaphorically speaking anyway... I mean you can't
actually sleep off a diabetes induced episode of hypoglycemia.
And let's not forget that John Poindexter and
John Negroponte are both on the Bush payola, er..., payroll. BTW, does "I
was out of the loop" or "I cannot recall" qualify as resigning? I didn't
think so.
Why? Are suggesting that saying "I cannot recall" is some new form of
admitting guilt?
BTW, the number of times Hillary Clinton said "I don't recall" or its
equivalent in a statement to a House investigating committee was 50.
Number of times Bill Clinton said "I don't recall" or its equivalent
in the released portions of the his testimony on Paula Jones was 271.
And the grand total for the whole clintoon kabal including Bill
Kennedy, Harold Ickes, Ricki Seidman, Bruce Lindsey, Bill Burton, Mark
Gearan, Mack McLarty, Neil Eggleston, John Podesta, Jennifer
O'Connor, Dwight Holton, Patsy Thomasson, Jeff Eller, Beth Nolan,
Cliff Sloan, Bernard Nussbaum, George Stephanopoulous, Roy Neel, Rahm
Emanuel, Maggie Williams, David Tarbell, Susan Thomases, Webster
Hubbell, Roger Altman, Hillary Clinton, and Bill Clinton was
<drum roll> *6,125*.
Hope this helps.

Except that republicons are the ones running around spouting family
values and law and order etc.
But once again we see that, whether it's Richard Nixon or some minor
state official, when caught misbehaving the Republican party will step
up and demand the wrong doer resign - where as Democrats will continue
to lie, engage in perjury, attempt to intimidate others into committing
perjury, engage in additional criminal activity to try and cover up

Obviously you don't know about Jay Kim.
Compare the case of this Republican state treasure and the outcome with
any of the myriad of crimes the Clintons engaged in, or any of the other
Democrats in Congress caught doing much worse.
What crimes did Clinton or dems in congress engaged in? Got any charges
and convictions?
Lorelee Byrd pled guilty. As in charged and tried.
It's the difference between being a stand up person and taking
responsibility and a sleazy bag liberal Democrat who thinks they are
above the law.
Why didn't Jay Kim resign? Why hasn't Janklow? Consider that the low
blood sugar defense is essentially an admission he killed someone but
he wasn't responsible for his actions...
