WASHINGTON - A congressman and a former House aide have written letters in support of former Bush administration official David Safavian, who is trying to avoid jail time in the Jack Abramoff investigation.

Safavian, former chief of staff of the General Services Administration, was convicted in June of lying to investigators about his dealings with Abramoff.

Prosecutors are seeking a three-year prison sentence in Safavian's case, which was the first guilty verdict by a jury in the corruption probe surrounding Abramoff, the Republican lobbyist who pleaded guilty in January in a conspiracy to corrupt public officials.

In seeking a sentence of probation or house arrest, Safavian's attorneys submitted letters from supporters including a church leader, a former congressional aide and Safavian's former boss, Rep. Chris Cannon (news, bio, voting record), R-Utah.

2. Norquist is just SO dirty-I dont understand why he

is not even talked about anymore these days :shrug:
His role in the Abramoff stuff is just so HUGH....

3. How 'bout DeLay aka the Bugman? HE is the dirtiest of dirty. Yet

he was on MSNBC today; they gave him a venue to spout. :grr:

4. He compares bribery to lying about an affair, hiding income,

or insider trading. Shameless. It's amazing since
in at least one of the cites he cites, Martha Stewart,
people not only went to jail, Sam Waksal got 7 years.

5. Add another five years.

I'm way sympathetic.

7. No jail time? Okay...

DEATH BY WONGA WONGA!
