More corruption and fleecing of the nation. This time it just happens to be a democrat. Not taking any sides, I'll be sure to post something on a republican as soon as I find something of this magnatude......

Add Murtha to list for the firing squad. Along with Pelosi, Reid, Frank & Dodd....

Blind sniper - Upset because your town did not get its airport upgraded? Tell your Rep to get busy and earn his keep.
