House Repuke Staffer caught stealing Plasma TV by Capitol Police

[RamboLiberal]

Poor Republican staffer. He didn't realize that GOP theft of public assets (our lands, our health, our jobs, our freedoms, our lives) wasn't meant to be taken this literally

The House Small Business Committee's chief economist was charged by Capitol Police with the attempted theft of a plasma television Thursday night.

According to a Capitol Police memorandum, officers apprehended the suspect, Thomas Loo, in the Rayburn House Office Building at approximately 10 p.m. Thursday after a Financial Services Committee staff member discovered Loo removing a plasma television from a room on the building's second floor.

Daniel McGlinchey, a professional staff member of the Financial Services panel, said he entered the committee's overflow hearing room, Room 2220, shortly before 10 p.m. to retrieve items from his office, located in a connected room.

"There was this guy standing there, and on a dolly there was something large wrapped in cardboard," McGlinchey said in a telephone interview. "He seemed a little surprised to see me."

Loo is a Republican. McGlinchey works for Democrat Barney Frank.

1. Poor guy

Was just getting Christmas gifts for his family, I'm sure. No doubt the Repugs will turn this into a need for giving pay raises to their staffs. :eyes:
