    So long Doo. Another for the Grand old Docket!


  2. Jeff Gannon Says:

    Probes? Oh, pretty please - with a cherry on top.


  3. Rusty Says:

    Deep probes Jeff. Deep probes.


  4. Mark Foley Says:

    Hey Jeff,

    I don’t think cherries make any good tops. If you manage to get your hands on a real cherry, just ask him for some pickle chugging or stay on top yourself.

    Just a friendly advice.

    This thread is just too gay.

    Looks like he might Doo-a-little time in the pokie.


  7. Ms Marple Says:

    Also Charlie brown is challenging Doolittle to disclose all his earmarks and Doolittle refuses. I never have and I don’t intend to start now,” Doolittle said. “It breaches confidentiality with constituents who make requests.”


  8. Rusty Says:

    Looks like he will have a bunk-mate in the form of Tom Feeney (R-FL):

    Doolittle must be quite uncomfortable from the constant deep probing.


  10. Just Me Says:

    Let’s remember - innocent until proven guilty. I’m glad to see due diligence is being done with an investigation. If a crime has been committed, they will need all the facts and evidence to support a guilty verdict. Until then, all we know is that an investigation is taking place - it doesn’t do our justice system any good to jump to conclusions.

    I know all of this is obvious, but it just seemed like a good time to get it out there.


  11. Jeff Gannon Says:

    innocent until proven guilty.

    Oh yes. That’s a very popular role-play with the dems. In the end, they all plead guilty.


  12. barrelhse Says:

    Wait a minute, I KNOW Mr. Doolittle has vehemently denied any wrongdoing whatsoever, it’s myfuckingwife, nothingtoseehere, demowitchhunt, and it’notfair.
    So why do they keep investigating?

    Jeez, the poor guy.


  13. Gregor Samsa Says:

    And there is that “liberal” media again, calling Abramoff a “disgraced lobbyist”.

    They should call him what he is: Corrupt, nefarious, influence-peddling Republican operative.


  14. Just Me Says:

    Jeff, please forgive me, but I don’t understand your post. I think you are disagreeing with me or making a partisan point, but I’m not sure.

    I assume, and correct me if I’m wrong, that the concept of ‘innocent until proven guilty’ is central to our justice system, it applies equally, in court at least, to everyone accused of a crime, and is supported by people of all political stripes. If this assumption is not correct, I am very concerned for the health of our republic.

  16. Jay Randal Says:

    How many times do I have to say on TP that Doolittle is done and stick a fork in him please?!


  17. Jeff Gannon Says:

    Jeff, please forgive me, but I don’t understand your post. I think you are disagreeing with me or making a partisan point, but I’m not sure.

    Oh no. Don’t get me wrong. I was just talking about the dems I’ve serviced in the past. They all like the judicial play. A stern judge or a lawyer asking them questions.
