Ex-Cleland aide pleads to trespassing

The one-time chief of staff to former Sen. Max Cleland of Georgia pled guilty Friday to a misdemeanor charge of trespassing after being accused with breaking into a coast guard station on Martha’s Vineyard last August.

Michael Duga Jr., 32, had also been accused of crashing a fundraiser for then-presidential candidate John Edwards, a Democrat, though Duga produced e-mails from an exchange with Edwards’ campaign that showed Duga was supposed to be there even though he was not recognized by event volunteers working for Edwards.

Charges of larceny and possession of marijuana were dropped, Duga’s lawyer, Al Daniels, told the Associated Press.

Duga declared himself “satisfied and grateful.” Cleland, who suspended Duga immediately after the incident and later fired him, told the Associated Press he considered Duga a “loyal, dedicated friend.”

Right, well he’s a democrat after all. The best part was the crashing of The Breck Girl’s event. I love this story.

Free the weed and free your mind. Duga should be honored and decorated for having a good time. All you uptight haters sitting in your ranch houses judging those who show freewill and moxy. Break the law today and put a smile on your face.

Another Democrat Moonbat is put away. Wish they could do the same to Al Gore, Michael Moore and other Liberals who’ve lost their marbles.

Charles, I don’t think Al Gore or Michael Moore ever broke into a Coast Guard facility. So are you suggesting that we start throwing people in jail for their beliefs or their political leanings?

P.S. Delta will be offering non-stop from service from Hartsfield-Jackson to Shanghai starting at the end of this month. I’m not sure if you can get a one-way ticket.
