Nice shot, Farrell

He’s been on the job for less than a month; still figuring out how to run the copy machine and locating the nearest coffee joint. But that didn’t stop new Party ED Jim Farrell from landing a punch squarely on Denny Rehberg’s chin yesterday. Farrell rightfully suggested Rehberg return the roughly $20,000 he accepted from his buddy Tom Delay, the indicted and embattled U.S. House Majority Leader. more

This well-placed shot is likely to be a major campaign issue moving forward. One has to question why old Mini Me wouldn’t just give the tainted funds back? Instead, they dig in and defend the corruption that has infected the Republican controlled Congress. As Farrell says, Rehberg taking campaign contributions “stinks to high heaven.” Indeed. America can do better.
