Good for her. Maybe she can help clean up the mess that these insane libs have put this state in over the last 40 years. This feigned outrage is hilarious. Don't see much here about Chellie Pingree and her billionaire boyfriend flying around the country on the taxpayer dime. Maybe it's because she's a good prog who "cares" about the little people. How much did his companies get in bailout money? Why was he carting that degenerate Barney Frank around in his private jet? Guess none of that matters. What matters most is that a relative of the gov has the audacity to actually do a job for 40k a year.

No its not okay. What some of us pointed out is that the party hardliners are quick to point fingers accross the aisle while ignoring their own sins. This is why politics will never change the hardliners make sure of it.

I don't either. They're just pointing fingers at other pols, and asking "liberals" to condemn other liberals.

Doesn't the state of Maine have anti-nepotism laws?

At a time when Obama's ILLEGAL immigrant aunt has been living rent free and expense free off of the American tax payers for YEARS some of you have the nerve to try to make a big deal about this? LOL

Slobbering hypocrite *******s, all of them.
So the TeaBaggers lied, they really wanted to follow in Obama's , and other politicians, footsteps....they REALLY want to be "part of the beltway", part of old DC.....

Well, it is no surprise...and they did say that they hated "change"......so I guess we won't see much of that from them....

At 22 ? Her father has pretty much set her up for life.
What an impressive resume this 22 year old will have for the rest of her life.

If you were 22 and offered that would you say "no" ?

I was being sarcastic. The RW (not necessarily you) rants on and on about personal repsonsibilty.

I don't know if I would have taken the job. When I was 22 I was married and living about 700 miles away from my father, who was in no position to offer me a job anyway.
