A friend just forwarded me the latest Dennis Rehberg campaign email, sent out Thursday morning, March 25, 2010, extolling Montanans on the need to practice 'virtues' such as, get this:
"Being a responsible citizen" and "caring for your family."
Dennis Rehberg talking about 'virtue' is like Tiger Woods talking about fidelity.
Excuse us if we have some trouble taking Rehberg's new-found focus on 'virtue' seriously in light of his long record of sucking cash from disgraced and convicted con men like Abramoff and Davison and VECO execs, using his influence to slip unjustified contracts to members of team Abramoff, and packing his staff with low-lifes.
Rehberg has also been spotted at Bobcat games with the man at the center of the Bozeman prostitution scandal that the national news program Nightline said had political links. (Rehberg donor Bill Martel.) It is unknown on what other outings Rehberg has accompanied Martel.
For these reasons, and so many others, it's unlikely that anyone's going to be asking Dennis Rehberg for a lesson on "virtue."
