St. Petersburg Times, which hasn’t historically been an anti-Feeney paper, calls on him to come clean. Now.
If the congressman believes his constituents and a public fed up with scandal can wait until “the time is appropriate, ” he is mistaken. Eleven people now have been convicted in the Abramoff investigation, and Feeney is being labeled in court records as “Representative #3.” He has said he was “duped and lied to, ” but these records make his office look complicit.
Feeney’s attorney may be urging him to keep quiet, but his legal tactic is at odds with his official responsibilities. He is a congressman with a cloud over his head, and the public is owed some answers.
While over at the Orlando Sentinel, Scott Maxwell — who has historically been far too kind to Feeney in light of his storied transgressions — is still being very kind. Even if he’s finally beginning to show some doubts as of yesterday:
Smart, thorough and careful people don’t usually get duped — which is essentially Feeney’s defense in this whole mess.
Poor Feeney, he thought he was being taken on a trip to the local fun-town to play miniature golf. Abramoff tricked Feeney by taking him to Scotland to play golf at a world renowned topflight luxury golf course.
How was poor Feeney expected to know ?
Poor, poor Feeney – THE SLIME-BALL CROOK !!!!!
I hope Fweeney is on the Hooker list
I hope the married with two kids – Bible thumper – has drug resistant gonorrhea and (g) warts.
Me too Turk, but after I wrote that I’m thinking the Feenster is not on that list…Gannons maybe ?
Why was I not suprised that this article did not originate in the Olviedo Voice? 🙂
And why demand it NOW? They should have demanded it before the election when Clint was pointing it out!
Ok, Ok, I agree that when papers change and snap out of it and come back to reality, we should acknowledge it. Such as:
(Portland Press Herald, Maine Sunday Telegram, emphasis added).
Republican war-monger senators from Maine are up for re-election in ’08, and I hope the voting public there is up for sending the neoCons from Maine back to the rocking chair far away from the Senate.
Remove the stain from Maine!
Dredd,..
S. Collins will be challenged by Tom Allen in 2008.
He has a good chance to pull out a win against Collins.
O. Snowe won by a margin of 60% in a three way challenge in 2006, she will be parked there undisturbed for 6 years, to the chagrin of many.
