From time to time I will show you others in Congress equally ethically challenged. One is a Democrat from South Dakota, Democrat Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin. Max Sandlin, himself a former Democrat member of Congress is her husband.
"Senate records show that Max Sandlin and his firm were paid $160,000 in 2009 by Baptist Health Care to lobby on its behalf, including for an "increase in [the] new market tax credit" in a Democratic-backed stimulus package that Herseth Sandlin ultimately voted for.
The National Association of Broadcasters paid Sandlin and his firm $320,000 over the past two years to lobby on a variety of issues, including a bill co-sponsored by his wife, the Local Radio Freedom Act.
And Advance Auto Parts employed Sandlin and his firm last year to lobby on the Employee Free Choice Act, legislation co-sponsored by Herseth Sandlin. The contentious "card check" bill, which would make it easier for workers to unionize, is a top target of manufacturers and others in the business community."
Why hasn't the Ethics committee opened an investigation of this Democrat? Sponsoring legislation for her husbands lobbying client should throw her out of Congress and into a Federal penitentiary. Why haven't these crimes been investigated against the husband?
Want to find a lot of corruption, visit the Democrat Caucus in Congress.
The good news is that the voters of South Dakota have tired of her radical votes, and maybe her corruption--she will lose in November.
