Follow The Money

clipped from lawhawk.blogspot.com Rangel is not alone in his failure to properly disclose the trips under the new rules. The Post found that other Democratic lawmakers who were wined and dined at the conference last November had yet to disclose the junket on their federal filings for 2007. The trips usually last about four days, including food and lodging at five-star resorts, and in some cases golf courses and spas, throughout the Caribbean. It is quite telling that the top Democrat on the House Ways and Means Committee doesn't bother paying attention to the rules, including the tax law (which he helps write in his Committee) and the ethics rules. Of course, it's systemic in that other Democrats don't seem to know the rules either. Rangel has accumulated the sixth highest amount of PAC money among all members in the House for reelection purposes even though he's never had a credible opponent in the general or primary elections. All that money ends up getting funneled to other Democrats around the country.

They're terrified spitless of Sarah because she's not looking bribe-able.
