abstract:Tom Rooney (30 November 1881 Woburn, Massachusetts – 1939) was an American racecar driver. He made three AAA Championship Car race starts between 1912 and 1916, including the 1916 Indianapolis 500.
Rep. Tim Mahoney -- a south-central Florida Democrat elected to replace scandal-plagued GOP Rep. Mark Foley in 2006 -- lost to his Republican challenger, TomRooney.
Five Members of Congress - Republican Representatives Michele Bachmann, Louie Gohmert, Trent Franks, Lynn Westmoreland and TomRooney - presciently raised this concern last June, and were roundly criticized for doing so (including by some in their own party).
It is gratifying that Mitt Romney did not join some other Republicans in denouncing Representatives Bachmann, Louie Gohmert, Trent Franks, Lynn Westmoreland and TomRooney for seeking answers to these sorts of questions as they relate to the present administration.
