Glenshaw (AP) State Rep. Jeffrey E. Habay was charged Wednesday for allegedly lying about a white powder he said he received in the mail from a contituent who was critical of him.

Allegheny County authorities charged Habay, 38, with facsimile weapons of mass destruction, falsely incriminating another and fictious reports for claiming in May that he received an envelope in his home that contained a suspicious white powder.

"... with facsimile weapons of mass destruction ..."

WTFH?

[Racehorse]

Bummer. He's a Republican.

[armymarinemom]

Wow I didn't know there were facsimile laws out there. Wouldn't that cause trouble for the fecalgram folks as well?

[Dog Gone]

I clicked through, too. I think his political days are over.

This nut is a Republican, but unless I'm reading this wrong, he ran as both a Democrat and a Republican

My first response to you was "Gee, you think?"... then I remembered Teddy K, and figured this would be a cakewalk.

Somebody faxed me some white powder, too.

His Party Affiliation is not mentioned in the AP article.

Therefore, he must be a Democrat.


Lock Him Up, Throw away the Key.

I think it's where you fax a black sheet of paper to someone, and when it's about halfway through, you tape the ends together to form an endless loop. This results in a waste of their paper and it uses up all their ink.

I can't stop laughing. I'll never be chosen for this jury duty.

[cripplecreek]

He got both 56.8% and 43.2% of the vote.

They were after him last fall for something different: Habay charges expected

[jsbankston]

Damn, WMD's can be send by fax? I had better clear my house of all the faxes sent to me by Saddam trying to sell me office equipment and Viagra.

[Jaysun]

He got both 56.8% and 43.2% of the vote. I see that (equals 100% of the vote). So he ran under both parties, no?

Its almost as bad as the Chief Moose White Van episode.
