8. Ohhhhh!!!! Damn!!!! Message on recorder was garbled.
I got a call, but when I actually listened to the recorded message it said, "Tom Feeney's party leader, Tom Delay is resigning from Congress." ARRRRRGGGGHHH! Sorry guys. Someone got too excited and thought it said, "Tom Feeney and party leader Tom Delay are resigning from Congress."

11. I can't blame you for hearing it wrong
It would be one heck of a great thing if both were resigning!

Don't worry. We've all been there. Happened to me recently, in fact. Doing the "shucks" dance, here.

3. he was Clint Curtis' boss at one time, right? Didn't they work for
the company that wrote software for one of the electronic voting machines. I think Feeney asked Curtis if he could write software to switch votes.

6. Yes he did.
And when the investigation got up to Jeb and beyond .... an investigator from the Florida Dept.
of Transportation (money was being laundered and washed through the Florida Turnpike Commission)
named Ray Lemme got really going he (Lemme) got up one morning and drove to Georgia and
committed suicide. The credit card receipt had him checking into the motel the night before. According
to his wife he spent the night in Florida.

Curtis is running against Feeney and promised to make election fraud an issue.

4. Here's a neat liddle linkiepoo .......
http://www.beyonddelay.org/index.php

On the Feeney page it tells the story as known to date.

As an aside, I'm surprised to see Maxine Waters in such deplorable company.

9. There's someone called "The Campaign for a Cleaner Congress"
which seems to be after him now. I suspect he'll be the next one to fall when they reach his level of power.

10. You're right Dr. Dan. Major goof-up with a garbled message on
a recorder. Technology and a tin ear failed us.
