Well, unless he is engineering a cover-up in plain sight. :)

LOL! I hadn't considered that possibility.

Never underestimate the power of a spell-checker or auto correction word processor to introduce a type of that nature, though. I suspect Congressman Dave had a lot on his mind today so he deserves a little slack if his proof-reading isn't up to snuff.

The mistake could have happened anywhere along the chain from his original dictating of the memo all the way through to the newspaper printing it. If his office made the error and the paper caught it, though, they should have annotated it with the "[sic]" designation.

Hitting someone with your shoe is an arrestable offense ?

My mom is soooo lucky the statue of limitations has run out.

>>>That makes 2 “R” retirements in what? 2 or 3 days?

I believe that make 17 Rs so far that will be retiring at the end of this term.

Not anymore. This is a building in the back of the Waffle House on US 192 at I-95 in West Melbourne. You are remembering the old place and it is now either a bingo hall or was in the plaza nearby that got demolished by the hurricanes a few years back.

I think this is at I-95 and 192 if I am not mistaken but is a country/western bar.

Bob Allen and now Weldon.......sigh

Whoa ... please don’t equate Dr. Dave with Bob Allen. No toe tapping in this incident.

She should get together with Noelle and Jenna.

Rock the vote, then puke on it.

"After talking with her we feel quite certain she did nothing to merit her arrest and believe this will be collaborated by others," Congressman Weldon wrote.

Uh, they probably should look for some corroborating witnesses. On the other hand, maybe he said what he meant, that the witnesses have collaborated. He's, after all, a congressman.

It still makes us look bad everytime we lose a politician from this area. Then again didn’t Weldon run on getting term limits passed 20 years ago? *ducks* ;-)

Yep, he had a term limit pledge and in hindsight, pro’ly wishes now that he honored it. You are right in that these scandals will tarnish a pubbie. Comnpare what she did with Sen. Nellie’s kid, though. That didn’t stick to the Senator.

Thanks for the ping...

Double news from this family and all of it is upsetting.

Who will run? Haridoupolis, Needelman, Feeney? ALL of them?

Yes he did, then broke the pledge. He has remained a “low key” representative.

Maybe we can use our local energy to support his replacement. I had wondered what I would be doing during the fall races.

Presidential race is not going to excite my interest!

He plans to return to private practice and wants to spend more time with his family.

So now that the Republicans are in the minority and the horizon looks bleaker still for the party, he going to cash in his chips for a lobbying gig. I wonder which NASA contractor corporate board he will be "lawyering" for.

/cynicism

Collaborated? OK

The primary for the FL-15 house seat (and FL-24) will be August 26, 2008 and the general election Nov 4, 2008. So there is time for a decent field to develop.

He is a MD and plans to return to private practice. He might end up working for Hillary. :(

Investigators said depending on what doctors say about how bad the cut is on Solis' face, authorities could ask the state attorney's office to upgrade the charges from misdemeanor battery to felony battery.

Oh! so if she just bruised his face with the foot of the shoe its a misdemeanor but if she ripped his face open with the spike of the heel it is a felony?

Toss the little wench in the clink and let her bear the burdon of her actions. Its assault clear and simple

dauther = daughter

Don't you hate when you point out someone else's mistake with one of your own?
