Wife of White House Aide Found Dead in Burning Car
Politics Daily ^ | January 10, 2011 | Christopher Weber

Ashley Turton, wife of the Obama administration's House of Representatives liaison, Dan Turton, was found dead in a burning car Monday morning, Roll Call and other news outlets are reporting.

Fire officials said it appeared the car crashed as it was pulling in or out of the garage behind a rowhouse in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington, D.C., at about 5 a.m. Neighbors dialed 911 after spotting the fire.

The body was discovered after fire crews doused the blaze. The fire also charred part of the garage. Nobody in the house was injured, fire officials said.

Ashley Turton worked as a lobbyist for the utility giant Progress Energy, according to Politico. She was a former staffer for U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn.

Metropolitan Police Lt. Nicholas Breul told Roll Call a joint investigation is underway. Homicide detectives were called to the scene.

"This could be just a tragic freak accident," Breul said, adding there was no indication that there was a crime committed.

The White House had no immediate comment on the incident.

I didn’t read the list so maybe the others are mentioned, but there were a total of 3 homosexuals killed within a (IIRC) two month time period who attended the Trinity church.

Sheriff Nutter needs to shut his fat trap and stop his violent rhetoric against Sarah and the Tea Party!

Speaking of the Apollo group, did you know the Greek word “appollonyi” means “destruction”?

With three young children? Nope. Hubby was supposed to be in that car. On the day of a big deal, too, not unlikely either she or he would be going to work at 5 am, or coming home from work at that hour.

What about the near-murder of an anti-immigration Blue Dog Dem and the actual murder of an “anti-immigration” conservative Catholic federal judge coinciding with all this?

This is a bad BAD email hoax.

Apparently, “The Jihad at the Ballot Box” doesn’t even exist.

Please stop with the email chain crap or we will not be able to hold legitimate debate with potential conservatives fed up with the loony left.

Warning to hub? To shut up when Issa starts hearings and subpoenas? Maybe meant for hub? You saw who her hub is and what he does, right?

Interesting that at first Sheriff Stupid said the judge just “happened” to be at the event, but the truth was that he had planned to be there.

If this was written by Wheeler he would qualify as a “birther”.

The article needs a thread of it’s own so others will see it!

This was obviously Sarah Palin’s, Bush’s and Rush Limbaugh’s fault due to their rhetoric daring to tell the truth about liberals.

Very odd. It’s way too soon to reach any conclusion.
