Crazy Curt The Web Wonder

I apologize for the fact that it's difficult to view this photo, but this is what the web site for Curt Weldon's campaign used to look like. I mention “used to” because of this story.

I didn’t know that it was a violation of rules within the U.S. House to display your photo and biography on your fundraising web site.

The problem is that, apparently, Curt Weldon didn’t know that either.

As you can note from the screen shot of his site before the PA Democratic Party filed its complaint, Weldon’s mug is plainly visible. Also, if you go to his site now, his picture is gone, the “Issues” link has no information, and the “Biography” link now goes to a site page called “Events.”

(I checked Weldon’s campaign site on this at about 1 PM EST…I wonder what kind of mad scramble is currently going on at Weldon’s campaign HQ to code and publish the site revisions.)

From complaining about a $350 donation to Joe Sestak from Mary McCarthy, a terminated CIA operative who has vociferously proclaimed her innocence, to misappropriation of campaign funds for use at the Borgata as well as resealing the driveway of his shore home, to “Able Danger” and those pesky WMDs – and now this – I seriously have to wonder how much longer the voters of the 7th congressional district will be willing to tolerate this Republican mistake.
