G.O.P. Drowning in SCANDALS...
REGARDING THE LONG PARADE OF
RECENT REPUBLICAN SCANDALS...
“The real question for Republicans in Washington is how low can you go, because we are approaching a level of ridiculousness,” says a Republican strategist. (NY Times)
So what's the tally so far? Let's see, there's:
2) Sen. David Vitter (R-LA), with their sex scandals (the airport-restroom tryst & numerous hotel room trysts, respectively).
4) Rep. Don Young (R-AK), are under investigation for their ties to the oil company Veco (though that's just the tip of the iceberg for Young).
5) Reps. Tom Feeney (R-FL), and...
6) John Doolittle (R-CA), have found themselves the focus of a reinvigorated Abramoff investigation (though Abramoff is in prison, he's still busily cooperating).
7) Rep. Rick Renzi (R-AZ), had his house raided.
8) The FBI is investigating Rep. Gary Miller's (R-CA), land deals. And then there's
9) Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), whose land deal with a businessman and campaign contributor became such a scandal that she finally just sold back the plot of land.
12) Sen. Pete Domenici (R-NM), and...
13) Rep. Heather Wilson (R-NM), Both are facing ethics committee investigations for their calls last October to former U.S. attorney David Iglesias about his office's investigation of a state Democrat.)
10) Rep. Jerry Lewis (R-CA), is still apparently under federal investigation. And...
11) Rep. Ken Calvert's (R-CA), land deals are still winning scrutiny.
13) Ex-Rep. Duke Cunningham (R-CA) is in prison,
14) Ex-Rep. Bob Ney (R-OH) is also in prison.
15) Ex-Reps. Mark Foley [scandal] (R-FL),
16) Katherine Harris [scandal] (R-FL),
17) Tom DeLay [scandals] (R-TX),
18) Curt Weldon (R-PA), and
19) Ex-Sen. Conrad Burns (R-MT)...
All either lost or did not seek reelection.
Gone, away, to be forgotten... PLEASE!
