Hey, I know Washington is a small town and all but certainly a Representative under fire for his ties to Jack Abramoff can steer clear of a fundraiser hosted by one of the convicted lobbyists former protegees. Todd Boulanger, formerly an associate of Abramoff, is hosting a $500/plate fundraiser for Rep. Tom Feeney (R-FL), who was on the Scottish golfing trip with Abramoff.

Deja-Ney?

Hmmm, is Rep. Feeney's story about his ill-advised Scotland golfing trip alongside convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff starting to sound like that of now-imprisoned ex-Rep. Bob Ney? ThinkProgress notes that Feeney, like Ney, has been cagey about the purpose of the trip with the influence-peddler, and under-reported the cost by a wide margin. Feeney claims he wasn't bought by Abramoff -- only time, and the ongoing FBI investigation, will tell for sure.

Feeney, Fi, Fo, Fum

Looks like Re. Tom Feeney (R-FL) got a call from the FBI wanting to know more about his participation in the 2003 Scotland golfing junket arranged by lobbyist Jack Abramoff that has become a centerpiece of the influence-peddlign scandal has so far netted a handful of guilty pleas and convictions from Members of Congress and staffers alike.
