Hello Mudda, Hello Fattah
By Wyatt Earp | December 21, 2008
You are going to . . . Fed Prison-ah!
At least that is my sincere hope. It seems that Representative Fattah may have been caught with his hands – or his organization’s hands – in the cookie jar. Oh, and he may have misused federal funds. At least the Inquirer noted his Party affiliation – a lot of newspapers wouldn’t.
Dear sweet baby Jesus, please let this be true.
Federal investigators are examining a multimillion-dollar scholarship program that U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah founded four years ago and abruptly announced last month that he was shutting down.
The inquiry appears to be in its early stages, with investigators asking about the use of federal grant money that has flowed into the program, named CORE Philly.
Two people familiar with CORE Philly said last week that the FBI had contacted them. One, a public-relations consultant, said she had been served a grand-jury subpoena requesting copies of videos she made for the program.
Fattah (D., Pa.), elected last month to an eighth term, said Friday that he had learned of the inquiry in July from the program’s former executive director.
“This is an audit of a past grant,” Fattah said, “and that’s that.” (H/T – The Philadelphia Inquirer)
Typical Fattah arrogance. God, I want to see him get his.
U.S. Representative Chaka Fattah – yes, that is his name – is a true scumbag. The man represents everything that is wrong with Philadelphia politics, is a proud supporter of cop-killing thug Mumia abu Jamal, and of course, has been re-elected eight times by the dolts of this city.
The fact that he’ll have to squirm in front of the FBI may be the greatest Christmas gift of all.

Beat me to it buddy. Ditto.
Wraps Rep. Chaka Fattah in prison drab paper, slaps a bow on his head, and says Merry Christmas to Wyatt.
It is my New Years wish that they actually start cracking down on all dirty politicians. People need to STOP voting for these people. We have a few of our own I would like to see wrapped and bowed myself…….starts a list
Wyatt,think you could get them to come on down to sunny FL. and get Alcee Hastings also,maybe a kinda two for one deal. All kidden aside,think every state has some of these arrogant scumbags.
Philadelphia newscasters and the screwed men they love…at 11.
Heh.
I have a feeling he’ll have some scapegoats to rely on, just like Street.
Very funny if it is true and I hope it it is.
Chaka is the “education” congresscritter and he dropped out of high school (has his GED).
Plus his wife is a very high paid local news anchor who makes at least $500,000 per year.
Merry Christmas Wyatt!
[...] Chaka Fattah, who is one of only a handful of Congress Critters who lead the fight against Heller, seems to be having some difficulty with the feds. [...]
Didn’t Chaka Full O’ Nuts hear Nancy Pelosi promise the most ethical and moral Congress in the history of America?
I’ve got a brand new congresscritter and he seems to be squeaky clean. Let’s hope that DC doesn’t corrupt him.
As for this character, maybe he will get his just desserts.
Just in time. Blago’s gonna need a bunkmate.
Don’t know this guy of yours but we have our share over here. Mainly politicians who are less than scrupulous with their expenses, which family members they hire and how much work they expect them to do for OUR money.
We are lucky to have a Member of Parliament who seems way above the rest in terms of integrity – he is an Independent (or, at least, the only MP in his Party).
She makes $500,000 per year!??
I wonder if she’ll dump him for this. Not that I’m looking, mind you.
The Romans had it right, back when they used to drown corrupt public officials inside a sack, with a wild beast. Of course we can’t do that now, PETA would complain. Stupid hippies.
In the game of political worthlessness, I bet a Nancy Belosi, a Barbara Boxer and a Diane Feinstein against your “Chaka Fattah”… fair? Or do I have to throw in a Willie Brown and a Jerry Brown?
Captain – He is the Tool of Tools.
RT – The list is as long as his . . . never mind.
AJ – And she’s all over his junk when she reads a news story about him. Please.
Flash – He was busy pulling these shenanigans when she said that, I guess.
KY Person – Never happen, but the thought is nice.
Bruce – They can be “bosom buddies.”
Alan – Probably why he’s not corrupted by the Party.
Lergnom – She’s attractive, but she’s a dolt, IMO.
Marvin – Let’s do it without the wild beast, then!
Mike47 – No deal. I fold!
