Connect the Dots--Orie Brother Worked in Tom Corbett's AG Office!

[blue neen]

The article is from last spring, but it explains an AWFUL lot!


"We just assumed that all the Orie siblings turned up earlier this week to show their support for PA state Sen. Jane Orie (R) and Janine Orie who face criminal charges stemming from allegedly campaigning for their sister, Supreme Court Justice Joan Orie Melvin, on the public's dime."

"Turns out there's at least one more Orie sibling: Jerome A. Orie. He was a no show at the above presser -- guess he couldn't get off work."

"Speaking of which, you'll never guess where Jerry works (OK, you will if you read the headline)."

"He's a deputy attorney at the Attorney General's Insurance Fraud Section."

"Yeah, that would be Tom Corbett's office."

"The same Tom Corbett who is a Republican prosecuting Democrats for the same types of charges that the Orie sisters are facing -- but not facing from PA AG Tom Corbett -- even though complaints were brought to him."

When are the citizens of Pennsylvania going to realize what a slime they elected for governor?

1. So cozy, isn't it?

As far as Pennyslvanians realizing the oozing slime of a Governor we have, they will once he goes after the public workers' unions. Who doesn't have a relative or friend working in one??

2. I like what Michael Morrill has to say:

"Why is no one reporting on the fact that Jerry Orie, the brother of Republican State Senator Jane Orie and Republican Supreme Court Justice Joan Orie Melvin, works for Republican Attorney General Tom Corbett?"



"Corbett is being accused of selective prosecution for not investigating Jane Orie's use of her Senate staff for her sister's 2009 campaign for Supreme Court. Corbett is running for governor this year, largely on the basis of his record in prosecuting mostly Democrats for using their staffs for political campaigns."

It's all WAY too cozy.

I think a lot of PA might start waking up after Corbett announces his budget tomorrow. The ax will be falling hard on everyone but the Marcellus Shale drillers.

3. Why didn't the Post Gazette ever report this?

Oh wait...that's right...they endorsed Tom Corbett.

4. We'll see what the PG has to say after Corbett's budget is

released. I don't have much faith that the PG will report on the Orie brother, but we can hope.

5. They've certainly reported on the Orie women...

... including the obligatory mean looking pictures.

It's a matter of time, I think.
