GOPer: Abramoff Junket Was A “Waste of Time”Today, the House ethics committee ordered Rep. Tom Feeney (R-FL) to repay the cost of a golf junket to Scotland with Jack Abramoff in 2003. Abramoff paid for the trip, for one, but the committee found that Feeney should have been paying for his own golf outing anyway.
Feeney’s response?
“Tom felt, on balance, the trip was a waste of time,” [Feeney’s chief of staff Jason Roe] said, adding, “It’s an expensive lesson, but we’re glad it’s behind us.”
Well, at least his Scotland junket didn’t land him in jail.
