At least one Bush administration official faces the long arm of the law.
Former White House adviser Claude Allen tearfully pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor theft charge Friday, telling a Montgomery County judge that he lost his bearings after working 14-hour days and getting little sleep in the “tumultuous time” after Hurricane Katrina.
“Something did go very wrong,” said Allen, who began crying during his remarks to the court. “I failed to restrain myself … I did not appreciate what was going on.
”But the 45-year-old Allen, who started his political career as an aide to Sen Jesse Helms, R-N.C., said he also took responsibility for stealing various items from a Target store and added that he was “intensely and immensely sorry … I am deeply ashamed.”
The evil twin is in CT trying to GOTV for Joe Loserman.
He lost his bearings…. but not his evil plan, I guess.
Who wants to bet that he asked his twin to take the hit for him?
“…getting little sleep in the tumultuous time after Hurricane Katrina…?”
Puh-leeeze. That’s even lamer than the evil twin defense.
Imagine if a liberal had been caught ripping off Target.
Then imagine if they had tried the line that they ‘were working too hard and forgot that stealing from stores was wrong.’
Wow! 14 hour days.
Check with the troops in Iraq on 22 plus hour patrols and see how much sympathy Bush’s little weasel thief gets.
