I have a question for you. What were you doing in February of 1996?
It was a month that saw yet another major snow storm hit New Jersey. Bill Clinton signed a telecom bill to widen competition and market access in cable television. Republicans were watching rightwing freakjob Pat Buchanan bury Bob Dole and Steve Forbes in the New Hampshire primary.
Jersey Journal article, first pageKirsten Danis was writing an article [Page one, Page two] for the Jersey Journal revealing 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.
This is only significant because Tom Kean, Jr.'s desperation has led him to base his entire campaign on one single false issue - the supposed corruption he's been trying to pin on Bob Menendez from the day he decided he'd actually try to get a new position by winning an election (that would be a first for Junior, because he was appointed to the State Assembly AND the State Senate). The problem is that he's shooting with a gun filled with blanks.
Here's a quote from the above mentioned article:

One of the more colorful corruption investigations in a long time, the balance of the US Senate is at stake, this is going to get ugly.
Also check out this blog entry on this Menendez release, it somes up the situation succintly: The Menendez Machine In Action
Let me add that this thread is opposition research, and as the guy(Xpatriated Texan) tried to Fisk the critics of Menendez, he flat out failed at it and laid out the strategy Kean can use to pummel Menendez's mounting defense to these charges.
why no Andrews for Menendez maneuver? They already have a court to go to, don't they?
Menendez is a CROOK to the tune of $300,000 in his pocket !
