With news that the Feds have "conducted six raids this morning - including at the homes of [Curt Weldon's (PA-07)] daughter and a longtime friend", I thought I might remind people just how crazy Weldon is.
Here's a picture of Rep. Curt Weldon (R, PA-07) giving a plaque to Moammar Qaddafi.
Here's a picture of Rep. Curt Weldon speaking at faux coronation of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon. Note the picture of Weldon pinning a medal on Moammar Qaddafi.
Weldon allegedly introduced Sun Myung Moon at his coronation, calling him, "humanity's Savior, Messiah, Returning Lord and True Parent." Whether that was a joke or not, Moon and Qaddafi are not the only lunatics that Weldon has associated himself with. And this gets to the heart of today's raids:
Karen Weldon, an inexperienced 29-year-old lobbyist from suburban Philadelphia, seemed an unlikely choice for clients seeking global public relations services. Yet her tiny firm was selected last year for a plum $240,000 contract to promote the good works of a wealthy Serbian family that had been linked to accused war criminal Slobodan Milosevic. And that's not all. Weldon wrote a book last year called Countdown to Terror. Here's what the American Prospect had to say about it.
...in an exclusive interview with The American Prospect, Weldon's "Ali" -- who was identified in an April article by me and Jeet Heer as Fereidoun Mahdavi, a frail, elderly former minister of commerce in the shah’s government and a longtime business associate of Iran-Contra arms dealer Manucher Ghorbanifar -- said he was stunned and perplexed to learn that Weldon had used his information to write a book, emphasizing that Weldon never even told him about the book. I have written about Weldon before:
Why Curt Weldon in Batshit Crazy His opponent is Admiral Joe Sestak. Hopefully, Sestak will be propelled to victory now that Weldon is obviously under investigation. But, we can take nothing for granted.
