That is 100 percent terrible. I feel sad to think that it is actually coming down to this.

If I am seeing things that shock me and I am 21, I don't know what I will see when I am 40 or 50.

Scary scary.

I guess I'm not 100% clear. So she spent the gift cards at Best Buy when it was given to her to be given to the poor and she claims that she thought that they were meant for her?

If that's the case then it is indeed a toughie. I would want to know more before condemning her. Maybe it was an honest mistake. Although it goes to another ethics issue, which would be politicians accepting gifts from organizations.

Oh please... See the black politicians just can't be trusted. They don't do anything legally. They must have picked that trick up from the streets where they came from. See, 2 can play your game.
