WASHINGTON (AP) - A potential Republican candidate for the Senate seat from Illinois - where the party's nominee withdrew over sex club allegations - engaged in ``lewd and abusive behavior'' while she served as a top official in the White House drug policy office, an internal inquiry found last year.

In front of her staff, Andrea Grubb Barthwell made repeated comments about the sexual orientation of a staff member and used a kaleidoscope to make sexually offensive gestures, according to the findings of a March 19, 2003, ``hostile workplace memorandum'' prepared by drug policy office staff. The Associated Press obtained the memorandum.

1. Maybe the IL-GOP are going to clean house

Just put up every possible rotten Repub they have.

6. Which would be all of them, right? (nt)

7. Not necessarily, but so few have been untouched by Gov. Ryan

that the ranks of suitable GOP candidates even for lower offices are being thinned dramatically. If I were of a mind to start a third party, I'd start in Illinois right now.

2. The GOP has certainly made its own bed.

Geez - who'd thought their disdain for blow jobs would end up causing all this trouble?

3. There's bound to be a clean GOPJustice of the Peace somewhere in IL.

4. The more screwed up their choices are

the closer they will sink to third party status in Illinois.

EXCELLENT!
