You’ve probably never heard of Rep. Geoff Davis (R-KY). He’s a freshman congressman. And he’s got a problem letting go.

Today, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports that the lawmaker is refusing to return a $500 contribution from Tony Rudy, a former staffer from Rep. Tom DeLay’s (R-TX) office who has pleaded guilty to felony charges of bribery and conspiracy.

Previously, Davis has refused to return $11,000 from Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham (R-CA), and $30,000 from DeLay’s ARMPAC, whose fishy finances won the former majority leader an indictment.

“I just don’t think Geoff gets it,” Bob Doyle, the spokesman for Davis’ Dem challenger, told the paper.
