Doolittle Taps Ken Starr To Fight Abramoff Fallout

(AP) ROSEVILLE Congressman John Doolittle of Roseville is hiring a former aide to Whitewater special prosecutor Kenneth Starr to advise him as he fights fallout from his friendship with disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

Doolittle says that former federal prosecutor David Barger will advise him on how he should answer media questions about the scandal during his re-election campaign.

Doolittle denies wrongdoing and says he has not been contacted by investigators.

1. Ken Star is like a virus.....

Doolitle will spend a ton of money and get nothing in return....

2. He should buy a cheap hooker

And have said hooker tested

That way he may get something for his money, other than a dose of the clap

[Demit]

3. Predicted Ken Starr advice: Clinton did it! That'll be $41 million, please

4. Ken is a cockroach

5. Advise him on how he should answer media questions?

Doolittle hired Barget in late Jan and then submitted to the most bombastic interview with the Sacramento Bee three weeks later. After years of ignoring The Bee's readers by refusing to speak with The Bee, Rep. John Doolittle granted an interview and attempted to distance himself from the corruption scandal swirling around his friends. It went terribly bad and generated some fantastic LTTE's. Barget's advice may be ground for a lawsuit!

:rofl:

Doolittle says he has done nothing wrong. Let's review some facts: Doolittle has taken large contributions from defense contractors whose products he pushed in Congress. One of these same contractors has been indicted for bribery of another congressman. Doolittle was brought into the House leadership by Rep. Tom Delay and acted as DeLay's right-hand man. DeLay has been reprimanded three times by the House Ethics Committee and is under indictment in Texas. Doolittle became personal friends with lobbyist Jack Abramoff, took large sums of money from Abramoff's clients and his wife became a business associate of Abramoff. Now Abramoff is the center of the biggest lobbying scandal in decades.

Did Doolittle break the law? We don't know yet. Is he for sale? Clearly.

Another Bee exposé clearly illustrated smug and smarmy Rep. John Doolittle as our own poster boy for all that has gone terribly wrong with the Republican Party, specifically, and the American political system, generally.

In his Jack Abramoff scandal interview, Doolittle asks us to believe that he is the dull-witted piano player in the brothel, "shocked, shocked!" to find that his friends Tom DeLay and Abramoff are the worst sort of "pay-to-play" political pimps. We are asked to believe that they just forked over piles of cash to Doolittle because they liked his pious lifestyle.

Likewise, with the Auburn dam for Doolittle it is damn what the experts say! Damn what is safe, environmentally prudent and financially sound! Damn what voters in his district want! He only has the interests of his true constituency - big-money developers - at heart. Unfortunately for us all, he is not an aberration but another California contribution to this country's full-blown leadership crisis.

Hey Doolittle, you douchebag, Ken Starr only knows how to leak. He doesn't know how to shut things up. You've picked the wrong man for the job!
