What??? We can't do like the Dems in New Jersey and just put someone else in the race???
Its not like the law is any constraint is it?
Considering the source (the SF Chron) I'm willing to give the esteemed congressman the benefit of the doubt, and assume that the Chron got it wrong.
Nice timing, pal...
Anybody know anything else about Michael Tenenbaum?
#9. Rep. Elton Gallegly (R.-Calif.) Has called for a constitutional amendment to deny "birthright citizenship" to babies of illegal immigrants and for an end to welfare for illegals. Sponsored amendment allowing states to deny education to illegals’ children. Introduced a bill to require employers at critical infrastructure sites to use computerized system for verifying an employee’s Social Security number.
My guess is that his health problems are the same as Duke Cunningham's.
He had no activist tendencies, no significant core beliefs, and did nothing in decades that would have ever made anyone remember his name. Typical easily-forgotten real estate Republican that gets re-elected by the segment of population that always votes for 'Incumbent'. Imagine getting served toast with non-dairy margarine and decaf coffee for every single meal over thirty years and you'll have some idea what life would be like if you were Congressman Gallegly.
Lifetime 'C-' rating from the NRA.
Gallegly isn't stupid, which is why this is all the more fishy, if true. Could he have been blackmailed? Cui bono? (pardon my bad Latin)
