Rep. Ralph Hall is a Bad Man

TPMmuckraker has obtained documents that officially prove Rep. Ralph Hall (R-TX) is Jack Abramhoff's bitch - and in the worst possible way, too.

How so?

In November of 1997, Rep. Ralph Hall (R-TX) publicly questioned the credibility of a teenage girl's claims that she'd been the victim of the sex trade in the Northern Mariana Islands. The statement, which Rep. Hall entered into the Congressional Record, was prepared by Jack Abramoff, the lobbyist for the islands.

"[S]he wanted to do nude dancing," Hall's statement said of the fifteen-year-old girl. She had earlier told federal investigators that she'd been forced to work for a local nightclub in a nightly live sex show. You can read the entirety of Hall's statement here.

Now go donate some cash to Hall's opponent, Glenn Melancon, so that he can at least build a new website as soon as possible.

Thanks to our tipster for the heads up.

I love his offer to take Rep. Abercrombie to see the strip show! (At no cost to American taxpayers -- of course.)

Rather than "bad man," I prefer "Sucks as a Human."

Hi,

Thanks for the words of encouragement. Hall has been a supporter of every bad piece of legislation that comes out of this Congress. His votes on energy, health care and jobs have hurt Texas Families.

P.S. Thanks for the constructive criticism of the website. We're making it compatible with Firefox and Netscape tonight. Please email us if the problems you see aren't fixed. Unlike the current crop of misleaders, we know criticism only makes us stronger.

Thanks for stopping by. The website now works with Firefox, at least on my end.

Best of luck.
