Rep. Doolittle hits back at feds over home search

Doolittle, a nine-term conservative who denies any wrongdoing, contended that the timing and execution of the search "clearly indicate that there was more behind the search of our home than the pursuit of justice."

The search warrant sought information about a fundraising business run from the home by Doolittle's wife, Julie, that had done work for Abramoff's firm.

Abramoff, once a high-powered GOP lobbyist, is in jail and cooperating with the government after admitting defrauding his clients with promises of access to Congress and the executive branch.

"I now believe that the search of our home was in large measure an attempt to strong arm my wife in order to get me to admit to a crime — a crime that I did not commit," Doolittle wrote.

He claimed that agents seized personal items such as his wife's Ipod — but left behind an accordion file with information about work Julie Doolittle had done for Abramoff.

1. Did the Three Stooges and the Katzenjammer Kids do this raid?

Or is Doolittle full of shit?

Probably six of one and half a dozen of the other.

2. Was he in Congress when bushco got blank checks to violate FISA?

No sympathy for GOP dickheads who whine about THEIR rights being slighted.
