Curt Weldon Drums Up New Conspiracy Theory
Yesterday, the FBI raided the house of Curt Weldon’s daughter — among other places connected to her — as part of an investigation whether Weldon improperly helped steer contracts her way. (Weldon is shown here speaking at the “coronation” of Rev. Sun Myung Moon — which named Moon the God of the Earth or something and which Weldon helped organize — standing next to a photo of himself pinning a medal on Moammar Al Qadhafi. Right.) The deal involves contracts Weldon’s daughter and Delaware County GOP bigwig Charles Sexton’s company — Solutions Worldwide — received from Itera, a Russian natural gas company. The main deal was a $500k contract Itera awarded the company while Weldon was lobbying Congress on behalf of the company. Dun dun dun. Of course, Weldon thinks the raid is politically motivated, since the Bush justice department usually raids Republicans right before the election. Weldon said:
Right. Except the complain was filed over two years ago. She really couldn’t have known the Justice Department would investigate Weldon two years-plus later, right. Unless Melanie Sloan is some sort of prophet. Perhaps Weldon could worship her along with Rev. Moon. Weldon inquiry boils as FBI seizes material [Inquirer] |

Search YouTube, you’ll see Weldon in his Delco-accented glory, speaking to someone on camera from the Daily Pennsylvanian and seeming basically like a uneducated whackjob.
The interview looks like it was before the raid which makes it even more lolz.
(I posted it in my blog as well)
In an amusing sidenote, the Weldon family has apparently been doctoring Curt Weldon’s Wikipedia biography over the past several days, attempting to remove all references to Karen and also his son Andrew, who is “sponsored” by a Boeing honcho, that same Boeing which is Weldon’s largest campaign contributor. Andrew apparently contacted Wikipedia directly, pleading that all references to him be removed from their site. Now someone has weighed in on the other side, threatening to sic the FEC on Wikipedia if they don’t stop being the Weldons’ lapdog.
