Oh, puh leez

Tis the season for campaign cards in the mail. Just received one from my teabag congresscritter. No platform, no ideas, no hopes for the future, just

I can only imagine what cards others are getting.

P.S. sorry for the poor photo quality. Upon receipt I reduced the size of the document to fit the storage unit where I file such things.

2. Giving a reference to convicted felon Louis DeNaples

In 2007, Marino resigned from office as U.S. Attorney after a Department of Justice investigation was launched for giving a reference to convicted felon Louis DeNaples, who needed the reference to obtain a license to operate slot machines at his Mount Airy Lodge casino in Eastern Pennsylvania. Marino falsely claimed he had written permission from the Justice Department to issue the reference, and the Justice Department confirmed they did not give permission. Marino resigned while under review by the Department of Justice, and accepted a position as Louis DeNaples in-house attorney for $250,000 per year. Marino's resignation, under Justice Department guidelines, ended the internal affairs probe.[4]

Marino was foisted on me through redistricting, and I did not know this part of his history.

Thanks for the info. Another reason to dislike him.
