Will Weldon Make 5?

You've got to give Curt Weldon some credit, he has a very vivid imagination. Only he would:

Launch his own hunt for WMDs in Iraq.
Suggest that he personally convinced Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi to give up his nuclear program.
Accuse his democratic challenger, Joe Sestak, of being a carpetbagger, citing as proof the fact that Sestak's five-year-old daughter was receiving cancer treatment in Washington, D.C. rather than in Pennsylvania.

So not only is he full of it, he's a classless hack. Now we can add under investigation by the FBI to his list of "honors." Weldon's involvement with a Russian company known as ITERA has come under scrutiny, the firm also does business with Weldon's daughter to the tune of $500,000 a year. After visiting Russia Weldon began very aggressively pursuing a deal between another one of his daughter's clients, Saratov and the Navy. The product? A drone described as a "flying saucer."

So it would appear that Mr Weldon is well on his way to becoming the fifth indicted Republican Congressman this year. When Republican campaign on government corruption, do you think they add a disclaimer that they're the source of most of that corruption?
