Passport probe indicates Davis led 'double life'

The federal indictment reads like a Hollywood script.

Federal prosecutors claim that state Rep. Ronnie Davis, 58, a country-talking school administrator from the East Tennessee mountains, teamed with Diana Dorothy Burton of Murfreesboro and illegally provided forged diplomatic passports to two Texas men in exchange for $100,000.

Gawd, I hate this crap! Now I'm thinking about all the morons who might be running around with diplomatic passports. It's not just embassy personnel, is it? Woe is me!

We are being sold out daily by thosae we have elected to represent us.How do you all think this country has been taken out from under real Americans.Once a person steps on our soil the more criminal he is the more rights he is afforded while at the same time they strip the rights away of those who are born and raised here.Lawyers with their great mantra "The Rule of Law" are destroying America and her bonifide citizens for the sake of an aliens vote and the power and greed they seek.God save America from herself!

spotted owl or davis?..davis is of course guilty. I suspect spotted owl took a pass as there was NOT enough $$ involved to be worth his while. The BIG question is why didn't he BLOW the WHISTLE himself...after all it would have be a republican embarassment and a demon-rate coupe.
