It's okay...she paid for her own Cell phone...

Thanks to Steve at the Distance I read the above linked article at Salon. Trust me, this one is well worth sitting thru the ad to get a day pass to read.

It is about Italia Federici the head of the Council of Republicans for Environmental Advocacy and her testimony about Abramoff.

I almost had to laugh when I got to this part of the article:

"When my friends reach out to me and ask me to help them with things, I never turn around and say why don't you just do it yourself," Federici said, adding that she paid for her own cellphone to facilitate this process. "

Then this:

"We are also going to do something mean to Senator John Kerry," Federici wrote Abramoff, a few days before the ad ran. She then described a video CREA had packaged that showed Sen. Kerry leaving an Earth Day celebration and stepping into a gas-guzzling sports utility vehicle. She sent the video to at least two television programs on the Fox News Network, "The O'Reilly Factor" and "Hannity and Colmes." "I am letting EVERYONE know that you are the only reason we have the funding to do this," she gushed to Abramoff in the same e-mail.


Okay guys, stop worrying about the $500,000 or any of the things she did for Abramoff, she paid for her own cell phone. She's got to be telling the truth. /snark...
