Doolittle aide leaves for prison job.
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) has appointed Gordon Hinkle, a top communications aide to Rep. John Doolittle (R-CA) as deputy press secretary for the state prison system. In September, Hinkle received a subpoena “from a Washington grand jury investigating Doolittle for his ties to jailed lobbyist Jack Abramoff. He was asked to turn over documents but was not required to testify.” TPMmuckraker’s Paul Kiel notes:
For those curious at home, if Doolittle, who is under investigation for his ties to lobbyist Jack Abramoff, were in fact convicted of bribery charges, he’d end up in a federal penitentiary, not one in the California state system, so the two aren’t likely to be reunited. Oh, well.

did you mean not to use bold print for “job” ?
November 30th, 2007 at 11:07 amC’mon TP bold the “job” part too. Don’t mislead.
November 30th, 2007 at 11:11 amDoolittle’s name certainly sums up the present state of Republican politics. Is his middle name obstruction?
November 30th, 2007 at 11:17 amCute, but you should fix it. For Truth is right.
November 30th, 2007 at 11:26 ami’m not the only one… just sent TP this message:
your headline:
Doolittle aide leaves for prison … job.
i think it would look less “fox-like” if you included the word JOB in that same format…
know what i mean? i understand the attention getting motive, but…
November 30th, 2007 at 11:27 amTP:
“job” should be in bold, too. Don’t give the Right any ammunition.

“deputy press secretary for the state prison system” this job sounds like a crony cush job to me, what the hell does a press secretary for prisons do, announce things like, “We have lots of people in our prisons today, that is all”.

November 30th, 2007 at 12:08 pmThe Repukes are beginning to stack the deck.Look for early releases for some of these Repuke crooks if they are put in the California Penal System.
November 30th, 2007 at 12:22 pmthe Dept of Corrections in California is where most of most of the corrupnicks go to really get some good graft!
I mean the employed staff, of course.
He will fit in real good.
