J.D. Hayworth begs for money on his blog.
J.D. Hayworth begs for money on his blog.
Last year, former congressman J.D. Hayworth faced intense scrutiny from federal investigators over his ties to disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff. On his blog, Hayworth now states that he has outstanding legal fees of “hundreds of thousands of dollars” and asks for donations:
A false charge of corruption is more than “political dynamite”; it is also “personal kryptonite.”
Your humble blogger speaks from personal experience. [...]
As a result, I still have outstanding legal bills that total in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
That’s why “The Freedom in Truth Trust” has been established. Its name comes from holy scripture (”You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”–John 8:32), and its acronym (FIT) is accurate, since this entire episode has given us fits!
As a congressman, Hayworth was less willing to embrace the blogosphere, claiming that terrorists used “cheap shots” in the blogosphere “to their own advantage.”

– - Hayworth cements that point nicely.

“The truth shall make you free.” True dat. Perhaps that’s why this bloated,corrupt blowhard owes his lawyers hundreds of thousands of dollars. Truth may be free, but corruption costs plenty.
March 28th, 2008 at 8:36 pmHayworth should ask the Indians for a donation, he did very well helping Abramoff rob them blind. He and his wife were laughing all the way to the bank as they used the Indians now he’s begging for help. Ask his friends in the Republican Party they have stole over 7 Trillion dollars I’m sure they could spare a dime.
March 28th, 2008 at 8:36 pmcripes. he’s utterly shameless.
March 28th, 2008 at 8:39 pmHe should know that Republicans eat their young if they show any signs of weakness. He should be looking over his shoulder…
March 28th, 2008 at 8:59 pmI’ll pay for his handcuffs.
March 28th, 2008 at 9:08 pmBlogs are ‘evil’ until you need to beg for money. Typical repub.

March 28th, 2008 at 9:29 pmOBGYN said: “Wasn’t he an Imus regular?”.
Yes he was…
He was also a regular visitor of Fox Network studios.
“The Freedom in Truth Trust”
LOL
Imagine the dinner time phone call:
“Hello, I’m calling on behalf of the Freedom in Truth Trust…”
March 28th, 2008 at 9:38 pmEveryone will choke with laughter on their mashed potatoes.
He faced intense scrutiny because of ties to Abramoff.
I personally dont see how his Lawyer bills became so high if he wasnt charged and no formal investigation is going to take place by the justice department.
Sounds a bit fishy asking for money…
March 28th, 2008 at 10:11 pmBwaaahaaaaaaaa!
Yeah I saw this one in the Arizona Republic. This former sports caster, a-hole, brush-cut jerk-off ain’t gettin’ sheeeit.
March 28th, 2008 at 10:42 pmNo, the lawyers shall get you off, but they cost dinero.
March 28th, 2008 at 11:32 pmPass the collection plate… LOL! Wouldn’t give that dude a peso.
March 28th, 2008 at 11:49 pmOh Man, this is too funny! I’ve seen chutpazh from these clowns before but this takes the cake! Maybe Hayseed can ask his repug cronies for help.
March 28th, 2008 at 11:58 pmi could be mistaken… but isn’t the word “blog” a combination of the
words “web log”? … and not “web Blog” as hayworth’s site shows?
it just looked curious to me… “Web Blog”…
March 29th, 2008 at 12:55 amwould that be redundant?
gee, asking for money without working for seems so, so democratic, eh jd?
on a personal note, i have known jd since he was a sophmore in college and the guy ought to be serving time in jail for the crap he’s pulled.

March 29th, 2008 at 4:24 amOn Wikipedia, opposite the entry for “Gasbag” is the name J.D. Hayworth. Too bad Wikipedia has no entry for “Sleazy Gasbag” or he’d get that one too.
March 29th, 2008 at 6:50 amGive him #100 in monopoly money and tell him not to spend it all in one place – THE SLAM!! HAAAAAAA.!
March 29th, 2008 at 9:13 amWhy isn’t he lobbying? All the other Republican quitters and election losers are. I guess it is so saturated there is no room for another scammer. A dispicable, typical Republican slimeball. I guess it came as a shock that the time comes when holding your hand out for money and having it filled ends and people come to you with their hands out. What goes around comes around. The Piper (attorneys) has to be paid. I guess he changed his mind about “trial laywers.” They will have to try to keep him out of jail. I hope they lose.
March 29th, 2008 at 10:32 amI find it interesting that he is begging for money since he has already spent $200,000 of campaign funds to cover his legal costs:

You gotta love that last quote. I have done nothing wrong but I have spent $200,000 in campaign funds to hire lawyers.
I’m thinking he is trying to build a war chest because he thinks that the new Democratic President is going to order the probe into his actions be re-opened by the Justice Department.
March 29th, 2008 at 11:44 amWhy isn’t he lobbying? All the other Republican quitters and election losers are.
Because he has a talk radio gig in Arizona. He’s a big gas bag that needs to be in the spotlight do get his daily ego boost. That’s more important to him than getting rich on K-Street apparently. Either that or he is too tainted for K-Street…Nah.. that can’t be it if they are hiring the likes of Delay.
March 29th, 2008 at 11:46 amI can’t stand this guy.
In 2006 when Dems took over and I was extremely pleased to see that Hayworth got booted. I couldn’t believe it!
March 29th, 2008 at 1:14 pmFor the last time.
Jack Abramoff is not a DISGRACED lobbyist.
Jack Abramoff is a convicted, sentenced and incarcerated lobbyist.
March 29th, 2008 at 2:46 pmAwwhh. Does the wittle congressman need more money? Get your ass in line behind the Katrina victims. How vulgar!
March 29th, 2008 at 7:34 pmI admit that I’m a bit ashamed of myself for taking pleasure in poor, old J.D.’s financial problems. Then again, I’m proud to have played my small role in ensuring he was not reelected to Congress.
As members of your party are so fond of pointing out to those in need, I suggest J.D. try the Horatio Alger approach; persevere, do your best, always try to do the right thing, and you will overcome this time of adversity. Through honesty, hard work, and strong determination, the American Dream is available to you, too, J.D.
