Aaron Schock

A few days ago, when Steve Israel, announced he would retire from Congress at the end of the year, I mentioned that my co-screenwriter and I would consider asking him if he wants to try out for the role of Steve Tel-Aviv character in our made-for-cable political sit-com. I suspect Titan Men, the gay porn producers, didn't ask Republican former-Congressman Aaron Schock to play the part of Mike Cauke, a closeted politician in the new x-rated film Cauke For President. Don't worry, the trailer up top is not x-rated.

Those arms are made for huggin', not brawlin'On Friday, Republican gangster Michael "Mikey Suits" Grimm, an ex-marine, ex-FBI agent, ex-congressman, and tough-talking reputed Mafia operative, was sentenced to 8 months in federal prison, the gentlest slap on the wrist to a thug who knows enough to turn the FBI inside out.

Aaron Schock is unlikely to show up as one of Lindsey Graham's revolving First Ladies. In fact, Lindsey Graham-- the pro-torture manly-man from South Carolina-- isn't going to even get into the Fox debate, let alone ever pick any revolving First Ladies. As for young Aaron...

In 2008, when Aaron Schock declared his leadership PAC-- the GOP Generation Y Fund-- was open for business, Schock was the youngest Member of Congress and he claimed the PAC was meant to help elect more young Republican Members. Last cycle Schock raised $782,233 and distributed 510,404 to Republicans to House seats. Electing "young" Republicans, however, doesn't seem to have been on his mind. Among recipients of his largesse were elderly conservatives like, to whom he handed out checks in $5 and $10 thousand increments:

The House that Boehner BuiltJust over a year ago, we started wondering if Aaron Schock's crush on tough-guy Mafia thug Michael "Mikey Suits" Grimm and his menacing blue eyes could lead the soon-to-be ex-congressmen to eventually share a prison cell at a Club Fed somewhere.

Is there still anything to say about Aaron Schock on blogs like DWT which have been talking about his corruption for years and years? Now that TV news has been all over the Aaron Schock scandal, we might as well just walk away and leave it to them, right? Not so fast. Rachel Maddow's report Tuesday night on MSNBC (above) was, as one would expect, better than most of the mainstream media coverage.

A parting peek at the beauteous Aaron?by KenProbably we're spilling way too much virtual ink over the now-presumably-foreshortened political career of Illinois Rep.

Say good night, Aaron. Too many questions about his finances, it appears -- as of yesterday including a new batch to come from the Office of Congressional Ethics. This made for a tough call here at DWT Command -- to preempt our festive St.

Maybe Aaron Schock's congressional seat isn't as safe as we've been saying it is. The seat was redrawn in 2010 by the Democratic Illinois legislature to concentrate Republicans in one district in order to make IL-13 and IL-17 safe for Democrats.
