FBI looks into the Lege
Remember that ugly "October surprise" that triggered an ethics investigation at the state Legislature just days before the election? Rep. Greg Hughes was accused of trying to buy his colleagues' votes for school vouchers by promising campaign funds.

Now, The Tribune reports that the FBI was running its own investigation of the allegations.

The House Ethics Committee ultimately cleared Hughes of wrong doing — and he was narrowly re-elected. As for that other investigation — the FBI, of course, isn't talking.

All this came out with the recent release of recordings from the closed-door Ethics Committee. Says Hughes:
I'm confident that the free flow of information shows I did nothing unethical at all.
Still, when the antics on the Hill get the attention of the G-men, maybe it's time for a little bit of reform.

The FBI investigates all claims like this, even if they ultimately prove to have no basis.

Just because someone makes an accusation and just because the FBI looks into it doesn't mean the accused is guilty.

Warchol doesn't give a crap about being "honest" or about being an honest newspaper reporter.

He's a whore who hates Republicans.

Now, let's all think on this...

Are ALL Republicans good? Probably not.

Are ALL Democrats good? Probably not.

Glen disagrees with us. He's a walking, talking, bald-ass-ugly-as-hell, agenda of hate.
