Oh man, I couldn't have asked for a better candidate for a bit of conflict of interest and corruption then my favorite Democrat, Dianne Feinstein. Looks like she awarded appropriations worth BILLIONS to companies controlled by her husband.
In her annual Public Financial Disclosure Reports, Feinstein records a sizeable family income from large investments in Perini, which is based in Framingham, Mass., and in URS, headquartered in San Francisco. But she has not publicly acknowledged the conflict of interest between her job as a congressional appropriator and her husband's longtime control of Perini and URS--and that omission has called her ethical standards into question, say the experts.
So Democrats, with such a clear case of an ethics breach, are you going to ask for impeachment? Are you going to ask her to step down? Of course you aren't. Removal of corrupt politicians only applies to Republicans. If you're going to run a campaign on ethics reform, clean out your own closet first.
