Tea Party petitioners sued for racketeering

Busted!
　
Kenton County, Kentucky, may be the site of the first significant legal action against the Tea Party. (It's also where I famously heckled a Tea Party event.) After teagaggers were caught forging signatures in a ballot drive, the county attorney is now SUING the petition firm under the RICO laws!
　
The federal racketeering suit says AZ Petition Partners and its independent contractors trafficked in forged documents, and the county is seeking severe penalties. The county has already been forced to spend over $14,000 in legal fees because of the forgeries (some of which were of names copied from the phone book).
　
The suit also charges the petitioners with mail fraud, for contractors mailed the petitions. Criminal prosecutions are also in the works.
　
Silly teagaggers.
