The Dems' Turn - Biden's Son and Bro Named in Lawsuit!!!

Filed under: Politik

joebiden.jpg

The Republicans can't hog all the controversy spotlight!

The Washington Post reports that Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Joe Biden has some drama going on in his family.

His brother, James, and son, Hunter, are being sued by a former business partner named Anthony Lotito Jr. for defrauding him and an investor of millions of dollars in a hedge fund deal that went sour, according to court records.

James and Hunter Biden have counterattacked and say that Lotito defrauded them by misrepresenting his experience in the hedge fund industry and recommending that they hire a lawyer with felony convictions.

The fighting between the Bidens and Lotito has been going on in a NY courtroom since November 2007.

Lotito also alleges that Uncle James persuaded him to add an inexperienced Hunter Biden to the team for politics sake. Hunter, who was working as a D.C. lobbyist, was in need of a career change because the Bidens supposedly thought it would 'hurt' Joe Biden's presidential bid at the time to have a lobbyist son.

In an affidavit, Hunter swore his father had nothing to do with the deal and that it is Lotito who swindled the Bidens.

When contacted for comment, the Obama-Biden campaign referred the Post to the lawyer repping the accused Bidens.

He said:

"This lawsuit has nothing to do with Joe Biden, and there is absolutely no truth to those allegations. It is a business dispute between former partners. The suit is baseless."

This 'drama' is a yawner compared to the crazy shiz going down with the Republican's Palin!

But it's still fun.

Dig up more dirt on the Dems too!

    Well you had me supporting you last night Perez, but seems like you are being typical and having to pander to the other side too and all the people pissed at you for going after Palin. It's not that you posted it, but it's your last line of "dig up more dirt on the dems too" just is cowardly. Stand up for what you believe in or just stay seated like too many Americans are doing in this election.

    yawner indeed. why are you advocating this perez?!

    Compared to Palin, this is as interesting as watching paint dry.

    Vote for Pedro!

    that's weak, don't tell me that's all they've got.

    ZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Wow, what a surprise, rich investors fighting it out in court over who got more money and who lost more money. If there was a scandalous hoochie involved or something, I might get a little interested.

  7. 7

    Yawn.

  8. 8

    Oh come on! There's better dirt than that!!!

  9. 9

    Great. This country's going to shit no matter which fuckin candidate is elected!!!! Craaaaaaaap!

    I agree This lawsuit has nothing to do with Joe Biden.

  11. 11

    Hey, what about the daughter? Didn't she get arrested or something a couple of nights ago for being drunk and disorderly? I thought I read that somewhere.

  12. 12

    I like Barack, but Biden seems full of shit.

  13. 13

    ok, when this isn't shit compared to Sarah open my legs Palin. Im glad you pointed that out! GOOD GOING ime/CNN polls swing states in the Midwest. The big prize first: Ohio, where Obama enjoys a very narrow lead.

    Obama (D) 47
    McCain (R) 45

    Let’s slide over to Minnesota, where the convention is not helping the Elephants:

    Obama (D) 53
    McCain (R) 41

    Now on to the First Caucus State or Iowa, where Obama posts his best numbers yet:

    Obama (D) 55
    McCain (R) 40

    North Carolina:

    McCain (R) 47
    Obama (D) 44

    A lead is a lead, but quite frankly, McCain ought to be concerned about such a small margin in North Carolina. With a little luck, a good voter-registration drive, and a good ground game, Obama might be able to pick off the state and its 15 electoral votes…something even Bill Clinton could not do in two electoral-college landslides.

    Finally, good news for Obama from New Mexico, or at least one third of New Mexico. He’s up big in the First District, where Kerry won 51-48:

    Obama (D) 55
    McCain (R) 41

    Hopefully it doesn't become a legitimate issue on the campaign trail.
    Anyway, it's 3:00 time to listen to SEAN HANNITY!!!!!!!!

    Joe Biden's son isn't running for anything just like Palin's pregnant daughter, Bristol (which I've said from the beginning to leave her alone). PALIN HAS GOT WAY MORE SERIOUS SCANDALOUS SHIT THAN THIS!!!

    I feel uncomfortable with the fact that the democratic nominees all sound so close to Osama Bin Ladin in one way or another….im DUBIOUS, I'll just leave it at that….

    Re: abercorey – You got me all dubious, too

  22. 22

    Not nearly as exciting as all the Palin crap but still entertaining. And it still won't sway me from voting for Obama!

  23. 23

    The republicans are trying very hard to make Biden into Palin..IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. They need to spend theri time schooling their puppet Palin on foreign policy before the debate!!!

  24. 24

    Re: abercorey – Idiot. Quit talking about shit you know nothing about and go drink some more protein shakes.

  25. 25

    The community organizer thing is a backhand racist remark. MLK was a community organizer.

  26. 26

    You know Mario I do apreciate it much more when you at least post equal amounts of dirt on All the Candidates..and believe me there is much more dirt to be dug..so start digging!! Can't wait to see some good stuff on Obama… you know there's plenty out there so bring it on Perez!!

  27. 27

    They all have shit going on in their lives. Fortunately, Palin's isn't criminal or corrupt…
    MCCAIN/PALIN '08

    Lets not forget that all of these polls showing "who is in the lead" are totally inaccurate. They are mostly conducted through landlines, and how many people do you know own a landline over a cell phone these days.

    There are a lot of minority communities where many don’t have landline phones. So those people aren't even being included in these polls. Obama will win! 100%!

    Re: abercorey – What the hell does osama bin ladin have to do with this and I'm not sure you understand the proper usage of the word dubious…

    Re: Ms. Sugar Walls – So was my step-mom (she's as white as they come). Let's not make each and every little comment into a racial thing - that in and of itself is a bit racist. (By the way, this is a major prob I have with Obama's team - especially when they tried to play the crap on the Clintons).

    Re: M3chick – HELLO? Ever hear of troopergate or earmarks? No one in this race for office is going into it with clean hands.

  38. 38

    Since we're talking about Biden for VP maybe we should mention how just a few months ago Biden was calling Barack Obama too inexperienced to be President..I see now that he's VP he's trying to keep his big mouth shut. It's known Biden does not like Obama, not to mention called him a "Clean Black Boy" basically a racist comment saying OMG an Educated Well Dressed Black Man, who showers…..come on people get with it!!

    O'bama is hitting them back on the community organizers part of the speech right now.

    Ziiing!

    "Why would they ridicule community organizing? And that is why they are out of touch with the American people because they have never been in the community with the people that have built this country."

    It is only a small portion of what he said.

    First, let me say that I am NOT advocating, or supporting, any Presidential nominee, but, in THIS day and age…
    it is damn near impossible to find ANY Politician who HAS NOT been scandalized, accused, sued, tried and/or convicted of ANY crime, whatsoever.
    Don't rely on others' testimony! Do your own research, find out who best represents your ideals (and, who best can help you, in supporting your family), vote your conscience….and, if your nominee doesn't win, save every penny, that you can, for the next 4 years….because you will need it.
    I have been alive since Nixon…I know of what I speak.

    Re: harrybalsac – yeah, I know that you are jerking off to them as your type. YOU are pathetic

  47. 47

    yeah right perez, i'm sure if they dug up more dirt you'd dwell on it like you have with palin. my ass. you're such a scumbag

    Re: abercorey – Rather stab both eyes out with a rusty fork that to touch your filthy ass body fruitloop.

    BTW: only losers take self portraits……loser.

  49. 49

    Re: abercorey – But to say that YOU are dubious means that YOU are giving rise to uncertainty - don't you mean THEY are dubious because THEY are giving rise to uncertainty? I mean, I value your opinion, but I don't really think you believe you are a part of their campaign team, right? Correct usage: The candidate is dubious and that makes abercorey feel uncertain.

    Perez,
    I really appreciate the attempt at equal coverage. Thanks! =)
