Newspapers still missing elusive word...


PHILADELPHIA | - A co-defendant testified Tuesday in the corruption trial of former state Sen. Vincent Fumo that Fumo ordered him to destroy office e-mails amid an FBI investigation, as prosecutors zeroed in on the obstruction charges in the case.

Computer technician Mark Eister, the lone witness Tuesday, faces two years or more in prison after admitting that he destroyed e-mail evidence on what he called orders from Fumo and his top aides.
Allow me...

DEMOCRAT, Vincent Fumo...as in the DEMOCRATIC Senator who succeeded DEMOCRAT Buddy Cianfrani, who had been convicted of racketeering, bribery and obstruction of justice. As in Fumo was the DEMOCRAT ranking Member of the Senate appropriations committee until his own federal indictment in February 2007.

DEMOCRAT Vincent Fumo once called Republican President Pro Tempore Robert Jubelirer a "faggot" on the floor of the Pennsylvania Senate during a debate on slot machine gambling.

There...finished (and so is Fumo).
