Jack Kemp forwards this:
lAmy Klobuchar: Not Your Senator Next Door

From the article:
"This story starts when Amy Klobuchar, a partner at the law firm Dorsey & Whitney in Minneapolis, held the office of Hennepin county attorney. Her sights were set on Minnesota attorney general. Klobuchar thought she had found a great case to further her career, the Kirby Puckett case.
lAmy Klobuchar: Not Your Senator Next Door
By Steve Sherman
From the article:
"This story starts when Amy Klobuchar, a partner at the law firm Dorsey & Whitney in Minneapolis, held the office of Hennepin county attorney. Her sights were set on Minnesota attorney general. Klobuchar thought she had found a great case to further her career, the Kirby Puckett case.
Puckett, a Hall of Fame
baseball player loved in Minnesota and around the world, was charged with assault on a woman in a
public restroom. That case didn't work out for Klobuchar, as Puckett was
eventually acquitted of all charges.
Fresh off that defeat, young
Amy Klobuchar needed a win badly, and she found it with some unsuspecting
Northwest Airlines pilots. This time the defendants were not beloved heroes.
They were easily cast as villains gaming the system. Even better, they were
middle-aged white men.
The pilots were not charged
with anything as horrible as rape -- they were accused of tax evasion. The whole
thing revolved around how many days these pilots spent in any one state, thus
constituting residency in that state and determining in which state they had to
pay state income tax.
Boring I know! But it was
exactly what Amy Klobuchar needed to look tough on white-collar crime and
further her career to become the new Minnesota attorney
general.
I personally interviewed
Captain Randy Enyeart, one of the pilots to have the unfortunate experience of
running into Amy Klobuchar as she made her climb to the top. He has become a
skeleton in her crowded closet.
