A Friend in Need...

From CQ:

A House Republican under Justice Department investigation because of ties to convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff has garnered help with his legal bills from a handful of colleagues, including Minority Leader John A. Boehner .

Rep. John T. Doolittle , R-Calif., reported in a filing made available Thursday that his legal expense fund had received $5,000 from Boehner’s leadership PAC. The money was part of $36,500 kicked in by GOP colleagues to Doolittle’s legal defense between June 27, when he opened the fund, and year’s end.

Like they always say, you can tell a person by the friends they keep

Did Boenher bawl like a baby as he indicated support for one of his corrupt buddies?

Hello Muckraker,

This is my first time visiting your site. I love it. Great job and great writing.

You guys might get a kick out of an earlier posting of mine.

Earlier this year I put together a list of Republican corruption. I guess I was right to include Dolittle.

I'm putting a link to your site on my political blog. . .
