Apparently, Julie Doolittle really, really wanted to work for Jack Abramoff. I guess she knew where the real power was.  According to the SacBee (h/t to DumpDoolittle), an Abramoff aide sent an email to Jack the Gambler that Julie was psyched!!:

The e-mail released Thursday was written by Kevin Ring, an Abramoff associate and former Doolittle staffer, to his boss. In it, Ring relates that Doolittle is “very very excited and appreciative” about the possibility of his wife, Julie, going to work for an Abramoff nonprofit group called Toward Tradition.

“JTD knows of the group and would like to talk to you about it,” the e-mail says.

The e-mail suggests Doolittle was trying to get a job for his wife two years before she ultimately took a position working for Abramoff at his law firm, Greenberg Traurig.(SacBee 10/13/06)

During his debate with Charlie Brown, John Doolittle got righteously indignant that his political opponent would dare, DARE, to bring his wife into the election.  Doolittle’s exact quote:

One woman asked Doolittle if he would support a law to ban an “unethical” practice: hiring his own wife, Julie Doolittle, to raise campaign funds for a 15 percent commission.

The company of Doolittle’s wife, Sierra Dominion Financial Services, also was paid $66,000 by Abramoff for projects including a Washington, D.C., fundraiser that was canceled.

“This is typical of the slanderous personal attacks,” Doolittle said, responding to the caller. “They want to drag my poor wife into this.” (SacBee 10/12/06)

His poor wife! Aww, poor wife who was paid $66,000 by Jack Abramoff.  Julie Doolittle took an active role in Doolittle’s political career, she can not now hide from public scrutiny.  Can anybody seriously argue that Julie’s connection has nothing to do with John?

Both Doolittles are corrupt.  However, only one is accountable to the voters.  It’s time to actually hold him accountable.
