Political Icon Police Blotter

As a continuous and open thread, and a follow up to the Rush criminal action thread, here is someplace for everyone to post their findings on the hypocrisy of politicians & political talking heads.

I'll kick it off:

Rush Limbaugh to possibly face Money Laundering Charges stemming from Drugs

Tennessee GOP Rep. Busted for Drugs
former Tennessee Rep. Ronnie Davis (R-Newport) was cuffed and perp-walked by federal DEA agents last Tuesday at a Lebanon, Tenn., truck stop. Agents busted the 59 year-old Davis as he arrived at the truck stop to pass a Limbaugh sampler -- hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, butalbital -- to long-time friend Diana Burton. Burton rolled on the no-doubt-rabidly-anti-drug-in-public Davis and wore a wire to help authorities build their case against the former Republican legislator. Burton and Davis were already in hot water after a grand jury indicted them last year for selling passports doctored to look like diplomatic passports to two Texas businessmen for $100,000. And, no, I don't know if it was Ken Lay and Dick Cheney. Trial on those charges is still pending. Read all about Ronnie Davis, Republican role model,

COLUMBUS | A staff attorney for the Ohio House Republican Caucus was arrested late Wednesday and police suspect he is the flasher known around Columbus as the "naked photographer."

Columbus police arrested Steve Linnen in an alley behind a supermarket near where a woman reported being approached by a naked man who snapped her photo and then ran away. It was the 39th incident in which a naked man has ambushed a woman and photographed her shocked expression. Twenty-eight of them have happened in Columbus.

Linnen, 33, is paid $42,349 a year as deputy legal counsel for the House Republican Caucus. As such, he is on the staff of House Speaker Larry Householder, R-Glenford. Linnen has worked for the House Republicans since Dec. 28, 2000. He has been placed on paid leave pending the outcome of the Franklin County prosecutor's criminal investigation.

This is minor shyte man.

When you gonna talk about the satanists and all that?

Besides the Dems are in with that crowd too ya know.

I can't believe how ANYONE could be republican. Myself and others have put up incidents of repugnants being flashers, drug abusers, child molesters, thieves, rapists, and gamblers while portraying themselves as the icons of moral authority. Yet, people STILL want to associate witht their ilk. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?

U.S. Rep. Bill Shuster, R-Blair, was collecting names of businessmen in his district he suspected of helping his challenger in next year's primary, according to a former aide who says he was instructed by the congressman to conduct surveillance of the rival's events and home.

Joshua Juda, a 22-year-old part-time Shuster aide who resigned last Friday, said he was sent to a private amusement park in the Blair County town of Tipton, where he phoned in the names and descriptions of citizens who attended a fund-raiser on June 6 for Michael DelGrosso, Shuster's Republican challenger.

Another stakeout operation, on the home of an insurance agent who was helping DelGrosso, was discussed, Juda said, but he was not assigned to carry it out and did not know if it ever took place.

Juda yesterday said he watched the DelGrosso fund-raiser on June 6 from a vantage point inside the park and used a cell phone to report in the names of "five or six business people from the Altoona area" he saw attending. Juda said Shuster, a two-term incumbent, personally asked him to conduct the surveillance as well as two later stakeouts on DelGrosso's house.

After neighbors phoned state police with reports of a suspicious car in their neighborhood and passed his license number along, Juda said Shuster personally instructed him not to tell the police what he was doing there or whom he worked for.

GOP Governor Rowland's former co-chief of staff, Peter N. Ellef, is negotiating a plea bargain with federal prosecutors in their investigation of corruption in state government, authoritative sources have told the Journal Inquirer. Ellef, who also served as chairman of the Connecticut Resources Recovery Authority, quit Rowland's office last spring amid controversy over the quasi-public agency's $220 million loss in a deal with now-bankrupt Enron Corp. Several informed sources had said that they had expected by November a slew of federal indictments in connection with the Rowland administration's contract-steering scandal.
