GOP Crime Family Values...

Lobbying Graft Cases Shine Spotlight on Corrupt Wives/Relatives -NY Times

"To a surprising degree, the spouses and other family members of the investigation's central targets are being caught up in the inquiry, dealing with subpoenas and interviews with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, with at least the possibility that some of them could face civil or criminal charges themselves.

Lawyers with detailed knowledge of the Justice Department's investigation, who were granted anonymity because of rules barring public discussion of grand jury evidence, say that so many of the wives of lawmakers and lobbyists have become tied up in the investigation that F.B.I. agents have begun referring to them as "The Wives Club."

As the former Co-Chief of the Organized Crime and Terrorism Section of the Office of the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York I can say with some authority that I know my crime families.

Meet some of the GOP crew: Christine Delay, Dani DeLay Ferro, Julie Doolittle, Lisa Rudy, Pamela Abramoff, and Robert Abramoff.

They may not cook as well or dress as sharply as the Gambino Crime Family, but let's hope they have enough pizzaz to inspire a new HBO dark comedy/drama series based on their organized antics.

Bada Bing, Y'all!
