Akkam’s Razor

We're going to miss him when he's gone… 

Totally missed this tale from the NYTimes via PA-7 Watch regarding Weldon's 5-Star stay in an Italian Hotel paid for by an Italian Arms Manufacturer, which coincidentally was correlated with a campaign contribution and employement for one of his children.  McClatchy news also has some details of $95k which was funneled to Weldon as a result of familiar pay-for-play lobbying.  The Sunlight Foundation has more.

Also yesterday, the GOP signalled that they are getting closer to throwing in the towel on Weldon, annoucing that the PA-7 race is going to be receiving less support via national NRCC advertising, redirecting the fund to embattled Buck County Reps. Gerlach and Fitzpatrick (via the Philadelphia Daily News).

Lastly, I received a "handwritten" printed and mass produced letter, paid for by the Weldon Victory PAC, from Weldon's wife, Mary Weldon.  Sorry Mary, but the avalanche of stories of your husband's actions, while possibly not illegal are almost certainly unethical, and he, and your family, will likely pay the cost.  No amount of hearing about his "hard work" and "poor children" is going to change that.  Your also not the most unbiased source…
