AZ-01: Renzi Says: “I Am Innocent”

I’m lovin’ this. On Friday, outgoing GOP congressmember Rick Renzi gets indicted on 35 counts of corrupt bastardy. Later that same day, embattled Republican Minority Leader John Boehner calls on Renzi to resign immediately. Obviously, Boehner doesn’t want a replay of the DeLay and Ney dramas, where tales of Republican wrongdoing played out in the media over many many months.

But today, Rick Renzi said nuts to that:

“I will not resign and take on the cloak of guilt because I am innocent,” Renzi said per a statement released by his congressional office. “My legal team of Reid Weingarten and Kelly Kramer will handle these legal issues while I continue to serve my constituents.”

I especially love the shout-out to his attorneys. It’ll make them that much easier to find on his campaign finance reports. Thanks for everything, Rick!

P.S. Now I can’t get that damn Billy Joel song out of my head!

  1. It’s time for another Sucka MP dictation

    My recognition is passed by acclamation

    White House may threaten with a veto

    But I’ll slap ’em down like a mosquito

    GOP, you almost feel bad for ’em

    These days, can’t even get a quorum

    MCs tryin’ to be parliamentarian

    But I cut ’em like caesarean and bury ’em like Marion

    Tancredo better make a run for the border

    Before I pull out Robert’s Rules of Order

    For some, the choice of Speaker’s a no-brainer

    But no-brainers voted for John Boehner

    Suckas sittin’ ’round sippin’ they Johnny Blue

    Talkin’ that smack just like Giuliani do

    Their approval rate calls for a removal date

    While I make more scrilla than Zell Miller‘s distiller

    Peace
