Counting Chickens Before They Hatch
Texas Congressfool Pistol Pete Sessions of the Dallas area is a corker.
Pete was one of Jack Abramoff’s go-to guys. Pete helped Jack in his scheme to rip off Indian tribes with gambling casinos. Pete took about $50,000 from Allen Stanford plus went fancy-pants traveling to Fire Island on Stanford’s jet for a Stanford retreat. Then there was Blimp Wimp where Sessions added a one and half million dollar earmark for a major contributor and convicted felon lobbyist “for dirigible research.” Because Lord knows if there’s anything we need it’s blimp research.
And then there was Countrywide, where Sessions played loose and easy to get a one million dollar loan from the bailed out mammoth.
It has been said that Sessions is the greediest man in Texas, but, Honey, the boy has lots of competition.
He’s also training to be Newt Gingrich in the Ladies’ Man department. In March on 2011, Pete was squiring around a lovely young woman, 15 years his junior, while still married to his wife of 27 years. In August, he divorced his wife and less than a year later married his honey.
And for a lovely Christmas gift three months later, he gives his new wife a lifetime membership at the Congressional Club. Which is real nice, except ….
… he paid for it with his campaign funds.
Let us just hope the used wife also has a lifetime membership and shows up hand-in-hand with John Hamm a time or two.
Ya know, there ought to be a law …..
