The Diddled

Looks like we're going to have to make a list of all those who are brave enough to admit they were diddled.

Rep. Bob Ney, R-Ohio, was identified by his lawyer, Mark Tuohey late Friday as Representative No. 1.

``I've talked to the Department of Justice on this and he's not part of this conspiracy,'' Tuohey said. ``Yes, he did perform certain acts - his office did - and there was certain other wining and dining situations like other people do, but he's the victim. He was misled.''

(In this case, the perpetrators were DeLay Associates, Abramoff and Scanlon)

*******

I actually think that fake exit was planned. If you see in the available video how he comes to attention after the doors don't yield and then follows the voice to the exit just in back of where he stood, it's part of the gig. It's not unlike that comic turn in the oval office looking for weapons of mass destruction which, considering the largest cache is controlled by a stroke of his pen, were indeed right there in the office with him.
His advance team had to be sure that nobody was coming through those doors to take him out while he was speaking.
Another chapter in the Crawford Diddle.

The Crawdad of Crawford loves playing the fool.
