Former Senator Robert "the Torch" Torricelli (D-Rolex) has been implicated in the Oil-For-Food-Scandal.
According to the New York Post:
Disgraced former New Jersey senator Robert Torricelli is being investigated in connection with allegations he urged Iraq to give a U.S. company lucrative contracts as part of the United Nations' oil-for-food program, it was reported yesterday.
Sure I know he's irrelevant but you can't heap enough abuse and humiliation on a scummy bottomfeeder like Torricelli.

When congressmen were allowed to pocket what was left in their war chest at the end of a campaign season? When they passed measures correcting this glitch Torricelli was grandfathered in because he was a representative. He continued to pocket contributions till the end of his term in the Senate. To be forced to withdraw from a race in a state distinguished for cronyism, nepotism, and corruption requires a level of personal morality that makes Marion Barry look like Mother Theresa by comparison.
He was a real weasel's weasel. You knew where you stood with him. Sure, you were standing in a puddle of slime, but there wasn't any pretence.

A complete violation of the idea that if you want to know whats going on in the sewer you have to ask people who spend time down there; asking the local rabbi is probably not going to get you what you want to know.

Toricelli is old news and small potatoes now.
The Torch passes to the Lout (loutenberg), and
NJ gets the status quo,more of the same.

The Torch was an 'old school' crook - and didn't attempt to hide it. Non-stop entertainment for those of us in the tri-state area.
It doesn't surprise me that he would be involved with the Iraq oil-for-food program. If the money was right, the Torch would support the Taliban. Kind of like Milo in Catch-22, but more evil.
Macsmind seems to. There may well be something here.

P.S. Did anyone notice that it did not mention anywhere in the NY Post article which party the Torch had belonged to?
