Tom Feeney (R-Abramoff) is back! And he’s not taking any shit from any of those democracy loving pussies!
Now that he’s temporarily been sent back to the U.S. House of Representatives — after having spent more than $1 million in corporate PAC money to achieve an unimpressive victory over Clint Curtis, the computer programmer who spent about $40k on his campaign and has accused Feeney of conspiring to create vote-rigging software in Florida — Feeney is ready to rumble!
“That is total political dictatorship,” Feeney tells the Orlando Sentinel today in regard to the Congressional election challenge filed yesterday by Democrat Christine Jennings in the U.S. House after 18,000 votes disappeared in her recent election in Florida’s 13th District, leading to a reported “loss” by 369 votes to Republican Vern Buchanan.
And, if anybody knows anything about “total political dictatorship” it would be Tom Feeney. The man who, as Speaker of the Florida House in 2000, promised to deliver the state’s Electoral Votes to George W. Bush no matter what those democracy haters on the U.S. Supreme Court had to say about it!; the man who worked as general counsel and registered lobbyist (even while speaker of the Florida House) for a company that had harbored at least one illegal alien who pled guilty to charges related to sending Hellfire anti-tank missile chips to Communist China; the man who keeps his campaign headquarters in the firm’s headquarters building even today!; the man who didn’t raise a peep when the Republican controlled U.S. House sent a letter ordering a California judge to dismiss a lawful election contest in San Diego’s special U.S. House election last Summer after the House had rushed to swear in apparent-winner Brian Bilbray just 7 days after the election, with thousands of votes still uncounted and a full two weeks before the state would even certify the close and disputed election which was run illegally on compromised, decertified electronic voting machines.
Now — even after the only expert witness put forward in Florida by ES&S, the voting machine company that makes the touch-screen systems used in FL-13, admitted yesterday on the stand that Jennings would have won the election were it not for problems with the voting equipment — Feeney is the man sticking his bright red, irony-impaired face out to declare that Democrats would be participating in “total political dictatorship” by exercising their constitutional right to “determine the manner and seating of their members.”
“Total political dictatorship” – Nobody knows it better than Tom Feeney.
Oh, and could he also be so angry about this because it turns out that Clint Curtis himself has now filed a Congressional challenge in his race against Feeney? More on that, hopefully, later….
Looks like cool-aid Feeney won’t be having a big ally in his next attempt to disrupt democratic voting.
I can only hope that Bush’s brother knows something we don’t about how these election challenges in Florida are going to end up, but THIS just doesn’t seem like something a Bush dynasty member would say, and I can’t help but remember dads teary breakdown last week!
Ahh, The Fabulous F#$king Feeney drops his drawers again!
With penis flapping in the wind (only a show understood by pages & ex “M” lovers), bends over and speaks volumes from his proper hole… what a maroon
Let’s do Feeney!
Feeney, Feeney, bo beeny,
banana bana fo eeney,
fee fie mo meeney,
Feeney!
Let’s do Foley!
etc.
No one could have predicted…
Should that have been:
banana fana fo eeny… ?
Damn! I hate when that happens…
This is admittedly speculative, but I have a hunch that certain congressional districts were regarded as crucial to the GOP to win by hook or by crook. Florida’s 13th, and Feeney’s district and the San Diego district in which Bilbray was declared the “winner” I suspect are several of those crucial districts. The reason I suspect certain districts are critical to the GOP (especially port cities) is because they are the physical sites of major illegal activities like narcotics and arms trafficking and money laundering which help finance the party and serve key campaign supporters, and they need a “friendly” Congressperson in these districts to facilitate such operations and protect the crooked perpetrators if they should get caught.
My reading from various sources about such nefarious activities by writers like Pete Brewton, Gary Webb, Robert Parry, et al, lead me to these supsicions/speculations. We shall see in the months ahead whether those hunches prove to be true or not.
EWASTUD..Interesting observation.Many years ago, I worked for a man high up in politics in NC. He related an incident that stuck in my mind…I wasn’t interested in politics at the time.”Jessee Helms was sitting in the lobby of (can’t remember the name of a nice hotel) in Winston Salem. ..feet on a coffee table ..beer in each hand. He said don’t worry about money ..we can get all we need from the widows and orphans giving to the PTL Club.” That was a big religious organization similiar to Pat Robertson..just more theatrical.The PTL club was being investigated for tax problems…but the attorney investigating was taken off the case..way before PTL got busted. BIG LINK for repubs and religious organizations because they aren’t taxed ..get kick backs. Like Franklin Grahm(excuse sp.) getting millions to preach abstinance in Africa. Rich people don’t like to spend their own money.
Tom Feeney: Florida’s version of JD Hayworth. What a deer in the headlights pic that is of him.
Another guy who should just come out of the closet.
Hey, where is the old standby Feeney lackey that always shows up to lamely stick up for him?

Good question.
You can’t tell me the world wouldn’t be a better place if people like Tom Feeney were never born. Some of the worst people in the world are in power in the U.S. right now.
#9 & 10 – Maybe Feeney gave it a few days off for the holidays.
