An interesting expose' as Dianne Feinstein steps down from the leadershop of the Senate Military Construction Appropriations Subcommittee (MILCON) where she was caught funneling business to her husbands company. She should be arrested, tried, and jailed ... at the minimum ... but being a dimocrap she will draw a bye and keep on stealing.

At the end of the article is an interesting paragraph concerning SOME of the profits her husbands company was graced with as a recipient of his wife's generosity ...

The report also showed URS' military construction work in 2000 was only $24 million, but the next year, when Feinstein took over as MILCON chair, military construction earned URS $185 million. Additionally, its military construction architectural and engineering revenue rose from $108,000 in 2000 to $142 million in 2001, a thousand-fold increase.

If she were a Republican, things would be different ....boy, the Dims would be all over her like white on rice! So why don't the Republicans go after her and make a big noise about this?

Because Republicans still don't know how to play the game! Like Rush said yesterday about the guy who lost his only good testicle...now he's like the Republican Leaders!

I don't know you guys ....I think Republicans can 'play the game' just as good as the rest, even better - we have the proof to back it all up. Our Republican leaders seem to be to hard at work, and not raising their heads for nonsense when trying to run this Country. Of course somebody ought to raise a head every once in awhile to slap the Pelosi's and Feinstein's upside the head.
As for the media, it simply sucks! I would gladly trade the TV for a good rifle with little kick, or a pistol! I often wonder what they would think if we all had our cable disconnected and sent them a message that we didn't care for 'their' thoughts anymore!
