Apologist Curt Weldon... Faulting Liberal Media For Focusing On Abuse
rather than Iraqi atrocities.

Basically he's saying "well... at least we're not as bad as Saddam or the rebellious Iraqis... you're making a big deal over nothing really."

What a wiener!

I loathe that asshole. THe best thing that ever happened to me was when the pukes went gerrymandering in my area and put me in Chakah Fattah's district and got me the hell away from that scumbag.

Please excuse my head exploding all over this post. It's been a bad day all around and the last thing I needed was for Weldon the King of Pork to open his big dumb taxpayer-overfed piehole.

4. Curt Weldon hates the "liberal media" because they also
reported the filthy little lobbying job that Weldon used his influence to line up for his 29 year old daughter.

Karen Weldon, an inexperienced 29-year-old lobbyist from suburban Philadelphia, seemed an unlikely choice for clients seeking global public relations services.

Yet her tiny firm was selected last year for a plum $240,000 contract to promote the good works of a wealthy Serbian family that had been linked to accused war criminal Slobodan Milosevic.

Despite a lack of professional credentials, she had one notable asset -- her father, U.S. Rep. Curt Weldon (R-Pa.), who is a leading voice in Washington on former Eastern Bloc affairs.

She got the contract after he championed the efforts of two family members, Dragomir and Bogoljub Karic, to win U.S. visas from the State Department, which so far has refused them entry.

Clearly, that's what this is...

7. But this is affirmative nepotism, which is different.
Have you noticed how many people in Bush's admin are related? It's like one big creepy inbred family.
