Next stop for Vito is Monsignor Farrell's detention hall.

It appears, as I hunt and peck, that Steve Harrison is the only one seeking the Democratic nod to replace Mr. Fossella. Liz Benjamin at the Daily Politics writes that she has confirmed long standing rumors that Domenic Recchia's not running.

Did he is even write that letter or did one of his staff do it for him?

Damn. I was looking forward to this. Maybe he should go back to Ohio (sorry, wrong post).

Vito had little choice in the matter. When you are on the front page of the NY Post, several times, as a slime ball, it's a little hard to raise money and the GOP won't waste it on him. Without money, it's doubtful Vito could even get the Republican nomination.

5 days isn't bad for a sitting member of Congress when you consider it's 4 3/4 days longer than Lindsay Lohan's sentence.

5 days? That's all?

"A great deal of consideration": this means that he was thinking.

Typical of "family-values ... Republicans," it's all "do as I say, not as I do."
