News Washington’s Own Doc Hastings Implicated in Growing Scandal

And it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. From the P-I:
Former U.S. Attorney John McKay said Tuesday that the chief of staff for a Washington state congressman called him to ask about an investigation into the disputed election of Democratic Gov. Chris Gregoire.McKay is one of eight federal prosecutors fired last year by the Bush administration. He told a Senate committee that Ed Cassidy, then chief of staff to Rep. Doc Hastings, R-Wash., asked him about allegations of voter fraud in the 2004 election. Democrat Chris Gregoire won over Republican Dino Rossi by just 133 votes out of nearly 3 million cast after the second recount.
McKay said he told Cassidy he was sure that the call was not intended to suggest that Hastings was calling for a federal investigation, because that would be improper.

Why do the Reds hate America so?
Where by "a nicer guy" I assume you mean "a nicer chairman of the House Ethics Committee".
I have known John McKay for a long time. I do not agree with his politics, but by all accounts he was not running his office in line with the politics of El-Busho and the Bush agenda (whatever it is from week to week).
Hence he was canned, which is not right.
Politicos from both ends of the spectrum have said that McKay ran a straight up, tight ship.
For whatever reason, he was screwed by George W. and his evil minions.
Just my opinion.
With some of those evil minions being the BIA-W. Can someone just make them go away please? I've never seen a bigger pack of crooks and bullies.
