Senator Feinstein's Real Love

On the day the new Congress convened this year, Sen. Dianne Feinstein introduced legislation to route $25 billion in taxpayer money to a government agency that had just awarded her husband's real estate firm a lucrative contract to sell foreclosed properties at compensation rates higher than the industry norms….Mrs. Feinstein's intervention on behalf of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. was unusual: the California Democrat isn't a member of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs with jurisdiction over FDIC; and the agency is supposed to operate from money it raises from bank-paid insurance payments - not direct federal dollars….Mrs. Feinstein first offered Oct. 30 to help the FDIC secure money for its effort to stem the rise of home foreclosures. Her letter was sent just days before the agency determined that CB Richard Ellis Group (CBRE) - the commercial real estate firm that her husband Richard Blum heads as board chairman - had won the competitive bidding for a contract to sell foreclosed properties that FDIC had inherited from failed banks….Senator's husband cashes in on crisis, Chuck Neubauer, The Washington Times, 4/21/09

Rahm Emmanuel’s advice to Democrats was to take advantage of the financial crisis. Perhaps you thought that this would take the form of advancing the Leftist cause. Yep, it was, the Leftist cause of getting as much bucks for the bang as possible, which Senator Feinstein, who resigned from the Military Affairs Committee last year because of a scandal in which defense contracts seen through her committee were steered to a defense contractor that her husband happened to have part ownership of. Maybe Senator Feinstein should just resign from the Senate. She is a disgrace to the Senate, the nation, and the constituents who put her in office. Read the rest at the link. It’s one of the finest articles yet on the Democrat Culture of Corruption.

The French say les moines parlent comme l’abbé chante. The chief of this band of outlaws says “yes, we can!”. Apparently, this has been interpreted as a call to arms by every gangster in politics.

Haven’t heard about this? Hey, you’re an American, entitled to a pack of lies from every news program.
