"said that accepting the $25,000 campaign check was "stupid" but insisted that his role in pushing the $95 million no-bid contract"

$25,000.00 helps influence a $95,000,000.00 "no bid" contract? That's only (approx.) .00264% of the contract value? Davis isn't even a good politician.

I'M NOT A CROOK!

I ONLY TOOK THIS MUCH FROM WHOREACLE AND TRIPLE THAT AMOUNT FROM LOGICON ON THIS PETTY LITTLE DEAL!

[spokeshave]

Davis announced Thursday that he will return the $25,000 donation from Oracle -- "in view of recent developments."

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS...? as in being caught..

So I can rob a bank and when arrested can return the money "in view of recent developments"..

Typical leftie thinking....

As the early stages of a possible full-blown federal investigation began, Arun Baheti, the former Davis technology aide, said that accepting the $25,000 campaign check was "stupid" but insisted that his role in pushing the $95 million no-bid contract is being overstated.

I would suggest Mr. Baheti cut a deal with the feds soon. Based on this article, there could very well be a RICO prosecution of those closely associated with Davis and these no-bid contracts. If Davis is re-elected, he will not be able to survive in office for a full term. He is going down.

If Michael Chertoff, Chief of the DOJ Criminal Division, ordered the U.S. Attorney to prosecute the PA state supreme court Chief Justice for obstruction of justice related to his divorce proceedings, Chertoff is not going to let this slide.

DUMP DAVIS

Oracle can't explain why Mehta ... waited until after the deal was signed to give the $25,000 check to Baheti.
It's simple: he waited until after he got the goods to hand over the dough. When dealing with someone as unprincipled as Davis, one should receive the signed contract before paying any money.

The Davis campaign said it received the check on Feb. 22 but that Oracle inexplicably stopped payment on it.
My, my, Oracle is very stingy. If they don't get any new benefits, they won't pay the bribe money.
