So how is it that NONE of the major news outlets picked up this story? Seems legit: 90 Pounds of Cocaine Seized aboard Ship Owned by Mitch McConnell

Absurd. The chain is impossibly long. Some on the boat to the Boat's officers to the corporate officers to the owners to his wife to the Senator. Absurd

That's what it takes to be able to look at Harry Reid and see a sane man

The boat is owned by his in-laws who laid a major amount of money on McConnell and his wife back in 2008 (between 5 - 25 Million dollars) and who have dumped massive monies into McConnell's campaign funds. You don't see a problem with this? You can bet your a$$ that if McConnell had been on the investigating end of this story, he's be screaming bloody murder.

.........and funny how the story is only surfacing now, after the elections.

I'm almost sure that Mitch personally went down to Colombia and helped load that coke onto that ship. I'm assuming that the ship was headed out of Colombia, because who would ship coke into Colombia?

Mitch probably hefted a pallet of coke on a Hyster forklift and drove it on a ramp right onto that boat. It's in every movie from the 80's.

So, you are being serious, this isn't sarcasm? Sheesh. You want to be held responsible for anything your in-laws do because they gave you money at some point?

No, I don't see a problem with this, just like I didn't see a problem with the various Obama relative stories that floated around.

And please. If the Courier-Journal or Lexington Herald-Leader had their claws in this story it would have been front page news.

No, anyone who voted for Grimes would have needed several snorts of Cocaine. Grimes was so funny in how she wouldn't admit to voting for Obama.
