The most what???
Remember during campaign 2006 how we heard how the Democrats were going to get rid of Congressional perks and clean up the "culture of corruption" in DC. While others have been focusing the House, I thought I would bring your attention to a story out of the Senate that is getting little play.
"On Wednesday, Hillary Clinton was challenged by the press about the Clinton family's acceptance of more than $900,000 in free private travel from Infousa, a company linked to scamming the elderly.
Her reply? She said that she had complied with all Senate ethics rules and reimbursed the company for the amount of a first class air ticket — usually about 1 percent of the cost of the luxurious private jet travel. According to Hillary, "Those were the rules. You'll have to ask someone else if it's good policy."
Now when the Republicans were in charge, did we accept that excuse from them? NO - we demanded resignations and restitution. Meanwhile, what do we hear from the Democrats and the media? Crickets....
So while Mrs. Clinton is standing on the floor of the Senate decrying executive pay and "obscene" oil company profits, she accepts lavish gifts from "her" corporate executive.
Typical....
