Weldon's Monkeys with Typewriters

Some of you may have heard that if you had a room full of monkeys typing randomly, they would eventually type out the complete works of Shakespeare. (Of course the catch is that it would take many times the life of the universe itself to get even one play.)

Well, the monkeys running Weldon's campaign seem to have beat the odds and typed out exactly the same content for Weldon's campaign site that appears on his taxpayer funded Congressional website. What a coincidence!

In 2003, Jack Abramoff funnels $2000 to Weldon's election campaign. Many votes later... on January 3rd of this year, Jack Abramoff pleaded guilty to corrupting public officials. The next day, Weldon donates his Abramoff $2,000 to a local charity. The following day, a Weldon supporter donates exactly $2,000 to Weldon. This is the only individual donation listed for Jan 2006. What a coincidence!
From Weldon's own FEC filings:
Weldon's contribution, #8 from bottom.
Donations, see entry #5


In 2002, Weldon gave a speech on the House floor praising a Russian natural gas company, Itera. Four days later, his daughter's "consulting" company lands a half-million a year contract with (you guessed it) Itera. What a coincidence!

After 6 years as a Bush cheerleader, the failed policies that Weldon supported have anchored him to the now unpopular president. It is not a coincidence that voters in the 7th are looking for a change this November.

P.S. This entire blog entry was typed by monkeys.

Look at Mr. James Averill (the 5th entry). Donated $2000 to Weldon on Jan 5th, 2006.

But, why are you asking me? Doesn't Weldon campaign staff have meetings every week on how to keep this stuff quiet? LOL!
