Gale Norton urges leniency for Abramoff crony.

Former U.S. Interior Secretary Gale Norton is urging a federal judge to show leniency in sentencing her former top deputy, J. Steven Griles, who pleaded guilty to “lying to the Senate about his relationship with convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff.” Norton also received $50,000 from Jack Abramoff, and the former lobbyist funneled more than $500,000 to one of Norton’s former political aides, Italia Federici, to gain access to her department.

1. What's his singing voice like? What tunes does he know?

Geez, these Republicans should understand Quid Pro Quo...lying to the Senate isn't the same as forgetting to put a quarter in the parking meter...

2. Shouldn't Gale be in jail?

ever spoken before congress has committed perjury, but do you have some details?

5. yeah! thanks.

now I have some details upon which to focus my free floating loathing

some day I hope to see that smile wiped off her sneering, mendacious countenance

6. Show leniency?

Why? That is not a word anyone in the Bush junta should use.

[Gabi Hayes]

7. she knows the axe will be swinging in her direction, especially if this

guy starts singing.

she's just trying to save her own venal, corrupt hide
