Li'l Orrin Done Made a Sin... 


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A top U.S. Senate Republican expressed "deep regret" on Tuesday in announcing that an internal investigation of computer records found one of his staffers had "improperly accessed" Democratic documents.

Judiciary Committee (news - web sites) Chairman Orrin Hatch said he placed the staffer on administrative leave with pay pending a separate probe by the Senate sergeant at arms, Bill Pickle.
[Don't worry, folks, I'm sure Bill Pickle can handle this.]
Hatch, who had initially ridiculed the allegations, also said a former staffer "may also have been involved," but declined to identify either person by name.

The disclosure came a week after congressional law enforcement authorities began looking into what Democrats called an apparent computer theft of 14 staff memos critical of President Bush (news - web sites)'s embattled judicial nominees.

The Democratic memos were quoted in The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Times earlier this month.

Hatch had suggested that the memos had been turned over to the news media by a "conscience-stricken" Democratic staffer.
Who's "conscience-stricken" now, Li'l Orrin? I'll tell you who isn't:


"Orrin, every time you lie, I weep. You done me wrong, Orrin. I'm 'shamed of you. I still love you, but you're a bad little boy. A bad, bad boy, Orrin."
