We cannot wait till 2027 to start prosecuting this case.

And where were you in 2006?

Oh, boy.

That's when Culver won.

Shout out, Maria.

So you went from being a closeted Republican, fake glasses wearing operative to a never Trumper to a Democrat and now to an agent of the Iranian government.

Wow.

That is like some Madonna-like reinvention.

Why were we talking about 2006?

Sorry, 2006.

You know, your personal story always gets me.

So I was with Claire McCaskill in 2006 on her Senate race.

And if you remember that year, that was when all of these GOP corruption scandals came to a head with the lobbyists and pay to play stuff with Mark Foley and the cover up with him, you know,

doing all this inappropriate stuff with underage pages.

And it was a mixture of like bad sex stuff and sort of pay to play stuff, a mixture of self-enrichment.

And we Democrats effectively use that to say that there was a

Irredeemable culture of corruption in the Republican Party.

We needed to drain the swamp, clean house.

And we had candidates who could prosecute the case effectively, like someone like Claire McCaskill, state auditor who rooted out waste.

Jim Webb in Virginia, like this just amazing, you know, war hero.
