What else is there to the story? Was he using some of the money to feed orphans and puppies or something?
Granted, he hasn't been convicted yet, but it's a pretty clear cut case. | 1. He ALLEGEDLY did this.
2. He was forced to resign as House Majority leader so that the Republicans could "move on". Again, this is NOT a sign of "guilty". It was politically expedient.
3. It is ONLY OPINION to say that it's a "pretty clear cut case". He may very well be guilty. But the last time I checked, the American judicial system is based on "Innocent until proven guilty". At least that's what it WAS until the whining liberals decided that "rumor=fact". | 1. The evidence against him is pretty damning. If the glove fits, blah blah blah, etc.
2. Actually, he had to resign because the House Republicans have a rule. No one that has even been charged with a felony is allowed to be be the House Majority Leader. The Republicans were going to change the rule for Tom DeLay, but people complained that it was a crooked thing to do.
3. When someone is under investigation for something as serious as a felony, people should probably suspend their "benefit of the doubt" attitude for a bit, unless they are personally involved in the trial. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...120500426.html |
