Change the Name And All Problems Go Away - #48

#48 ITALIA FEDERICI
COUNCIL OF REPUBLICANS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ADVOCACY (formerly the Coalition of Republicans for Environmental Advocacy)

GOP cocksuckers seem to think all you have to do is name something a different way and all your problems will be solved. Well, the Federici case just goes to show you renaming stuff does not stop you from watching out for Numero Uno if you're a GOP cocksucker.

Federici screamed about the environmental movement, which was a weird position to take considering her position in Washington. What really got her into trouble though were her connections with Jack Abramoff. Federici was e-mailing messages between the Interior Department and Abramoff for months concerning a casino the Jena Choctaws wanted to build and which Abramoff opposed becaus it would compete with two OTHER casinos run by two of his clients, the Mississippi Choctaws and the Louisiana Coushattas.

When congress investigated, she lied about it, saying that no, she didn't get shit from Abramoff in return for favors when she'd gotten skybox seats at Redskins' games, free meals and cocktail parties at Abramoff's restaurant, Signatures, and more than half a million dollars. She got all that, she explained, as part of a new policy whereby campaign contributions were spread more evenly among the political parties.

Harder to explain was that tax evasion. See, while GOP cocksuckers place a high premium on their own hides, their biggest weakness is money. The more they have, the more respect they think this entitles them to. Federici did not get any prison time, although it was a close thing for a while but when she agreed to become a government snitch and rat on her superiors, she was sentenced to two years in a Halfway House and four years probation. She had to pay the IRS more than 77 thousand large though, because she did not pay income taxes on the CREA accounts for three years.
