More Trouble for Weldon from Grand Jury Panel?
In today's Washington Post sources say:
And you know Weldon's really in trouble when Gil Spencer not only picks up on the story but actually trashes Weldon's usual blame everyone else response. Spencer: Is Weldon’s political career starting to list?
Maybe we should get Gil Spencer an account here on Pa7Watch. Gil actually responds to and debunks pretty much all of Weldon's talking points. Spencer writes: "But he cannot dismiss an FBI raid and a Justice Department investigation as nothing more than a partisan witch hunt.
Even though it comes from unnamed sources, even Spencer quotes the Washington Post about the grand jury being impaneled and wiretaps.
Gee, I wonder if Weldon appreciates the irony of his vote to expand wiretapping powers.
Spencer even gives us a tidbit about Charlie Sexton:
"For his part, Sexton is lying low. I called him for comment, but he said on the advice of his lawyer he was keeping his mouth shut." Yet, Spencer pulls out an old quote from Sexton regarding a previous GOP scandal: "Republican or Democrat, those (FBI) guys are brutal."
My official prediction is that the Delco Daily Times will soon endorse Joe Sestak.
At that point, Weldon might as well just resign. An imaginary short sample from Weldon's, yet to be written, resignation speech:
Though it pains me greatly after 20 great years serving and fighting for the people of the 7th district, I've decided to step down. Though I've done nothing wrong, the accusations and my defense are too much of a distraction from my work in Congress on behalf the the great people of my district. After talking to my family, I feel it's best to spend more time with them during this difficult time as I clear my name. So, I step down so that (GOP to be named later) can continue my fight for the people of the 7th district. (end scene. close curtain. finis.)
A grand jury has been impaneled as part of the investigation, and it has obtained evidence gathered via wiretaps of Washington area cellphone numbers

The USS Weldon, like the USS Caine before it, has steamed over its own towline. And, like Capt. Queeg, the skipper is blaming all the wrong people for stealing his strawberries.

It seems that Mr. Weldon should be able to rise above this clearly partisan attack. I'm sure the FBI still has some Democrats in high places that could have spearheaded such an inapprpriately timed investigation. Mr. Weldon has done nothing but good on the behalf of the people of the 7th district. His tireless dedication to the Bush agenda increased the take-home pay of all constituents (especialy those earning over $2 million per year). Please give Mr. Weldon a break and drop this spurious investigation!
Gee, well, great, for those earning more than $2 million per year. How about he gives us simple wage earners or less-than-2-million-bucks-a-year people a break! Sheesh, anonymous!
Tell you what, why don't YOU petition the FBI to drop this "spurious" investigation. I'm sure they'd love to hear from you.
We Serbian warlords like Meester Curt Veldon vedy much. We kommit a little bit of genocide and da nasty US State Department say we are bad mens and must not be allowt to come to ze US. But Meester Curt Veldon is our very good friend and do many good tinks for us, even though we no know vere Marcus Hook is or what "seven district" mean. So we give his dimwit daughter lots of cash, is this a bad thing for a very good friend of the Serbain warlords like Meester Kurt?
Sheesh - funny dems!
Somebody is watching too much jon stewart.....
We do not know thees Jon Stewart. Is he the husband to the Marta Stewart? Marta is very bigg star in the Serbia. We like that she stand up to the bad Justice Department so very bravely like the Curt Veldon. Maybe we throw bigg bash for the Curt Veldon and the Marta Stewart at the Librarian of Congresses. Maybe we give Karen Veldon a few more hundred thousands dollars to throw this very big party. Maybe we invite the Reverend Moony and this Marcus Hook person. Has this Marcus Hook thinked about running for Congresses, too? We need all the helps we can get. If Marcus hasa daughter, we might like to get her helped into a business, yes? If so, we have much dollars burried in the backyard to the Meester Charlie Sexton that we can use to start the Marcus Hook's daughter in the business. Just get in touch with us the usual way: Call Dagmar's Shoe Repair in Belgrade, ask "if Mr. Veldon's brown shoes are ready" and we get back to you right quick. If we can pay Mr. Marcus Hook in Dinar so much the all better. The laundering so much cash through the Veldon family is killing us.
