Posted on 01/10/2011 7:09:55 PM PST by Free ThinkerNY

Ashley Turton, a former aide to Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., and the wife of White House staff member Dan Turton, was found dead this morning in her burned-out car in the garage of her home in Southeast Washington, D.C.

Turton, a mother of 3-year-old twins and a 1-year-old, worked as a lobbyist for Progress Energy.

The Metro police and fire department received a call at 4:49 a.m. from a neighbor about a fire in a garage at the intersection of Eighth Street and A Street in Southeast Washington, near Capitol Hill.

The D.C. Fire Department arrived at Turton's row house within minutes. Firefighters were blocked by heavy smoke and fire, said spokesman Pete Piringer.

This is a very weird story. Something is amiss. We are clearly not being told everything the police know at this point.

Where is the media on this one? I am surprised it is not getting any attention.

“Probably the victim of an “inflamed” right winger....”

Let’s break it down logically.

She worked for an Energy Company.

Progressives don’t want American to have any energy.

Therefore Energy Companies are Evil and anyone that works for one should be killed.

So the Followers of “CHE” did what he did.

Very simple and very logical.

My Bad.

“Progressives don’t want American to have any energy.”

Should be:

Progressives don’t want Americans to have any energy.

On that ABC site, people are already blaming Palin, and one person said “no more guns!” My poor brain can’t take much more mental retardation from the left like this. Seriously, no guns were involved in this, unless someone knows something we don’t. They are so predictable, this isn’t going to end well.

"DeLauro said, 'She was special as a pioneering chief-of-staff who knew how to make the House of Representatives work for people. She was a leader and comrade in arms to so many staff...'"

Just pointing it out.

Progressive Energy is a natural gas exploration/production company. Most of their activity is in Canada.

Obvious sarcasm:

“This tragedy is obviously the fault of Sara Palin and the right-wing gun advocates. If Sara Palin hadn’t posted crosshairs on her website, none of this would have happened. Sara Palin is responsible for any tragedy befalling a Democratic, Liberal or left-wing White House cabinet worker, their husbands/wives, children, cooks, gardeners, mechanics, electricians and plumbers. Sara Palin will be indicted for this tragedy. Furthermore, I hope for the family of this tragic event. NO MORE GUNS!”

"... garage of her home in Southeast Washington, D.C."

These days I am no longer sure, sometimes what I had thought was obvious sarcasm was really someone being serious.

I still wonder what the whole story is here.

Today, Duke Energy announced their merger with Progessive Energy. The merger forms the single largest utility company in the US. Duke Energy's own press release.
