YEA.... we were really worried that he would rear his ugly head. Rumors on the ground that they were looking for him to run to fill Renzi's seat or McCain's in 2010.

Put a nail in that one and keep him out of office for good!

Call me superficial, but look at the photos of those recently implicated in the Abramoff mess, Rep. Feeney and ex-rep. Hayworth, above. There is something very, VERY disconcerting about their eyes. Is it the koolaid? Are they pod people? Maybe not, but OMG it makes you wonder.

Read the funny comment by Hayworth's colleague Darrell Issa about his nemesis Carol Lam.

Agree with you about the spooky zombie eyes.

I've found the most lovely depiction of all the fallen Abrahamoff trees to date. I've only seen partial listings prior to this. Can't wait for all the future additions to the blazing red depictions of "convicted" (or "indicted, at the very least)!!!

Hayworth has always been a first rate asshole, not to mention he was a terrible sportscaster before a congressman. His loss was one of the most satisfying.

From the very first time I saw J.D. on the tee-vee, I couldn't stop flashing on Foghorn Leghorn.

Hope he gets sentenced to 36 months of scraping up roadkill off the back roads of his nice warm state.

Snake...that's what Hayworth is.

Since his lost to Honorable Harry Mitchell, Hayworth has dropped from the face of the Earth. He must be out of work or cooking in his buddy crook, exGov. Symington's restaurant. He never got his sports TV show again or even seen on any sports program.

JD Hayworth? Gotta be one of the most obnoxious talking heads I've seen on the TV shout shows.
No, he never will be missed. Summon the Lord High Executioner and let's all cheer.

Watch 'em all lawyer up.

I love the definition of a liberal: A conservative who has been indicted.

Ah, some day soon I'll paraphrase Macbeth and say,
"I have supp'd full of schadenfreude and it is food fit for the gods."

Hi Folks....

I'm told that the latest finance reports indicate that Conrad Burns is spending a lot of his ill-gained loot on lawyers rather than on lakefront property.

I haven't seen anybody flag it here yet, but yesterday was J.D. Hayworth's inaugural broadcast on Phoenix area's right wing radio station, 550 AM KFYI. I caught the first hour or so, and was bored out of my mind. His first (and lengthy) foray into attacking the opposition was making fun of Hillary Clinton using southern accents. Oh so topical!

Things should get interesting with him being on air and now the subject of investigations...

Austin Cooper wrote on April 27, 2007 3:11 PM:

Sorry to say, but -- look long and hard at Hayworth's picture. Lokk right into those more-close-set-than-usual eyes.

Can't you just *feel* the used-carness eminanting from the guy? It's palpable.

i'll give credit to abramoff. he is a first-class snitch. Soon, there will be a vegas line for number of guilty pleas and aggregate length of prison terms from all the congressman and staffers. probably re-found religion and grew back a conscience. good thing he's clearly OCD.

Eyes that stare like this are liars eyes. Many people who lie think that by staring into the eyes of the person with whom they're speaking makes them believe. There's a vast difference between steady eye contact and staring though.

Don't stare into the eyes too long. You might start thinking that George Bush is the kindest, bravest, most wonderful person you ever met. Another game of solitaire?

Used to live in Chandler, Az. Christ, I remember that smarmy boob. If you look, youll see he was voted "Dumbest Rep" by the Hill interns a couple years running....should be a record somewhere.
No surprise he's yammering on KFYI. That station is a daycare center for nitwits.
Ill be happy to see the beady eyed creep staring out between cell bars.....

Those are the faces of drinkers. Seriously. Look at Cunningham, Feeney, Hayworth, Ney. A drinker is someone who can't say no to bribes as well. Easy to blackmail. It's pretty simple. I'm betting that Tom Delay is also a boozer. Anyone else?

KFYI is the number 1 english language station in the Phoenix market. JD follows Rush and Hannity, and yes his 1st show was awful.

Finally, my vote counted in getting that f-wit out of my district. Check out the size of his skull--Rush Limbaugh laughs at him.

lucy wrote on April 27, 2007 4:08 PM:

Let's not forget the lord and master of my district. A politician who truly lives up to his name: Mr. John T. Doolittle. What an utter moof this guy is. I've been watching him for a long, long time. I used to work for one of his unscrupulous puppet masters in the real estate development field. I tell you, I learned more about the ins and outs of dirty play in that job. But of course, all these fine gentlemen were christian conservatives. No surprise there. My employer snapped his fingers and Doolittle would jump.

Here's a lovely image for you to remember Doolittle by. Think back to the movie Fahrenheit 9/11. There is one scene where Michael Moore is outside of the congressional temple and he's trying to interview the reps that are arriving about the war in Iraq. He's asking them if they would encourage their own sons and daughters to go fight since they themselves, the congressmen, are pro war. Naturally, no one wants to speak to Michael but they politely walk around him or simply say 'no comment'. Enter John T. Doolittle, my congressman. Michael Moore approaches Doolittle and attempts to ask him the same question as the others. Upon seeing Moore, Doolittle literally emits a very loud "eeeeek", jumps straight up in the air, and like a Tom and Jerry cartoon you can practically see his legs pumping before he even comes back down and hits the ground running. What a total moof!

My Hero, My Congressman.

JD had a nice smooth voice IIRC, haven't heard him speak lately, but he did lose the weight. But his smooth voice belied the con in him. He was easy to listen to, but a lemming.

I tried to focus on Hayworth's eyes. It required crossing mine, which is the only proper way to view Republicans in general these days.

badgervan wrote on April 27, 2007 6:22 PM:

One of the first things I noticed about the Decider was how close-set his eyes are - almost touching. Reminds me of that banjo playing kid in Deliverance. Also notice how red/bloodshot his nose and cheeks have been gettin lately. Another conniver with those sneaky, close-set, smirking eyes is rove. With the fat face, kinda reminds me of Elmer Fudd. These are not intelligent people - what they are good at is saying and/or doing anything to get their way, much like the used car salesman. Simple minded. Close minded. Anything but open minded, the quality which we need in our leaders, now more than ever.

Herb wrote on April 27, 2007 7:13 PM:

JD Hayworth was a Phoenix local-news-weatherman* before he was a blame-Clinton Republican HACK Congressman from AZ. He was a classic 90s Republican -- a worthless leader. He got fat, and right before the '06 election, had that bariatric stomach-staple surgery. He couldn't believe it when he lost, because he was skinny again -- but the voters know that being a fat-pig has more to do with your actions than your waistline (or your weight).

'So happy, for him(!), that he can defend his actions as a US Representative in the 90s, full-time now, since he is jobless. 'Couldn't've happened to a more deserving fella.

*or maybe he was the sports-guy, on the News.

no comparison, if it's corrupt, the (R)'s have it by a landslide.

azbill wrote on April 27, 2007 8:36 PM:

I did not catch him on his first radio show here in Phoenix. Reichwing KTAR radio has him on in the drive home time slot. He is such a big bag of wind it's kind of hard to imagine even they would put him on the radio. He left Phoenix to go to Congress via sports annoucing for a TV station. Oh yea, he's got star qualities all right, I just hope Abramoff really brings him down. He's also had plastic surgery and a gastric bypass so all you see is not gold.

Run down the list. If you have a substance problem that you are ashamed of then you learn to hide it and sometimes you actually do fool people...which means you are good at hiding other things. Same with gay Republicans. Again, if you are spying or bribing, you pal up with those folks because they're vulnerable, even if they don't project that directly, even if they kept telling themselves that they have control over their lives...in fact, folks like that often psyche themselves up and out about what they can and cannot get away with. Vulnerability.

Having said all that, let's not hate them but pity them, and clean up the mess they've created...while holding their feet to the fire and making them pay for their lack of poor judgements.

TexasEllen wrote on April 28, 2007 1:38 AM:

Donviti, in Texas we always claim politics is our blood sport since the Lege made bullfighting and cockfighting illegal. On the national scene the Nixon administration provided the last big time, going to jail by those who worked in the White House, extravaganza. PBS carried the committee hearings live for months on end, and rebroadcast them every night. Some Republicans never got over it, like Henry Hyde. The attempts to investigate Clinton and his impeachment were in many ways belated payback.

Of course, in Texas we currently have the Texas Youth Council sexual abuse scandal. The entire State Board was forced to resign, the USAttorney General for West Texas, Johnny Sutton who refused to prosecute is one of the Kept Attorneys since he used to work for Gonzo in Texas. All state offices and the majority of both houses have been Republican since W was elected governor.

Code word safe: I will feel safe after 1/20/2009.

God, if Cheney were impeached he'd have a show on Fox a week later. Cause there is nothing the Right can do that the media won't still want to cram their views down out throats.

I was watching Bill Moyers Journal: Buying the War.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5Kngf803dQ

And I remember this guy sounding like Jethro from the beverly hillbilles wrapping himself in the US flag and reiterating every lie that the current administration stands for as he attacked Murtha.

But beyond that absurdity, the lies and the attack on Murtha, he coouldn't stop stealing.

The truth of the matter is that the administration used every coercive tool to lie this nation into a conflict in the middle east, and then use that same lie to argue that they had extra-judicial powers, appointing USA's under the patriot act, to continue with that lie.

And the appointment of the USA's was to continue the hold of the house and senate by obstructing justice and suppressing votes.

After the monstrous lies that led to the policy of waging 'pre-emptive war' and a resolution of war-powers to do so, the obstruction of justice, human rights violations, civil rights violations, corruption, seemed trite.

There is only one catch in all of this, this was a flawed policy, a miserable failure from the inception.

Institutionally there were long standing policies that were supposed to prevent this type of event happening. And these institutions were hijacked as thoroughly as if somebody had grabbed the controls of a plan and sent this nation in a disaster of a policy.

Hayworth will get tried as a crook, but he is in fact an individual who partcipated willfully in an organized effort to commit war crimes.

All these ancilitory acts are part an parcel of the initial distortion of what happened on 911, the subsequent lies that Condi didn't know, then the cooked intel on Iraq, and then the assertion that resolution of war-powers, the obstruction of justice, human rights violations, civil rights violations, and corruption.

Bottom line, these are war crimes and history will record them as such.
