1. Gee....

...that applies to bribes from a lobbyist, right? Wonder why this Repuke kind of "morality" did not apply to sexually exploiting under-age pages.

Ummmmmm....IMO, they are a dollar short and a day late with this BULLSHIT. They KNEW what he was doing all along and it took him making a guilty plea for them to do something. Oh, pleeeeeeeeee-zuh! :eyes:
