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.

He's the fop who came out to shape up Peter Roskam's campaign in IL-06 and almost sank it by calling Keith Olberman "intellectually dishonest". Roskam only made third place in the worst person of the day contest for saying Tammy Duckworth was for "cutting and running" but thanks to Roe both he and Jason the clothes horse made worst person of the week. Keith told him "we'll handle the intellectual, you stick to the dishonesty." Proving Olberman right Roe claimed at some wingnut website out in CA that it would have bothered him if Olberman had any ratings. Didn't hear much out of Jason after that.

Did his office supply that photo? Because he is terrifying.

Not that I'm anxious for the hearings to start, but I was just wondering when they'd start. Any time in the next few days will be fine. After that, I'll start screaming bloody murder.
