Orlando Sentinel: Feeney, Keller face expulsion from the nest
The Orlando Sentinel's take on vulnerable Central Florida Republicans Tom Feeney and Ric Keller: they "need the job more than we need them on the job."
On Feeney:
Now he is a regular on a "Most Corrupt Members of Congress" list put out by the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
The Democrats have been pounding this in their TV ads. And all Feeney can do is look meekly into the camera and apologize. He calls it a "rookie mistake."
Feeney was a longtime veteran of the Florida House and served as speaker for two years. He ran as Jeb Bush's lieutenant governor in 1994.
Rookie? Please.
And now he has a legal defense fund because of an ongoing federal investigation into Abramoff's dealings?
Do you really want a congressman with a legal defense fund?
On Keller:
Keller is a decent guy, just not a very effective lawmaker.
And that's because he was for George Bush before he was against George Bush.
And he was for the war in Iraq before he was against the surge.
And he was opposed to offshore drilling before he was for offshore drilling.
For once, Ric, tell me something that 51 percent of the people don't want to hear.
