Feeney's Downhill Lie

Mentioning the name Jack Abramoff in a room full of politicians is the equivalent of yelling FORE! on the golf course. Everyone ducks for cover.

So for Tom Feeney to remind voters of his prior association with the convicted lobbyist via an apologetic I'm human, I made a mistake commercial this late in the game well, that's quite the risky chip shot from a downhill lie.

All I can say is Old Tom must be teed off anxious over the very real potential loss of his congressional seat to Democrat challenger Suzanne Kosmas.

Guess the voting gallery of District 24--a gerrymandered course carved out personally by the then-Speaker of the Florida House destined to be the Congressman who Golfed Scotland 2003--isn't so quick to caddy the incumbent's golf bag this election cycle.

Especially after they all witnessed Feeney waggle about the back nine of Course Abramoff these past five years.
