GOP urging Doolittle to bail.

The Hill reports that “friends and colleagues” of Rep. John Doolittle (R-CA) are urging the congressman to retire at the end of his term. Doolittle is currently under federal investigation for his ties with fallen lobbyist Jack Abramoff and contractor Brent Wilkes. Former Republican congressman Richard Pombo — “who lost his seat amid ethics allegations” — has reportedly called on his “longtime friend” Doolittle “to not seek reelection in the interest of keeping the district a GOP stronghold.”

Friendship nothing like GOP Friendship. Once your caught in the crime you get tossed under the bus. Save Doolittle like you saved Craig. What's worse tap tap or stealiing. Look Stevens is still in his job and he's a crook.
