“Businesses affiliated with the husband of Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill have received almost $40 million in federal subsidies for low-income housing developments”

Well, that sounds like much ado about nothing. Most likely, his businesses just manage some properties that are HUD subsidized low-income housing. That’s federal money that is available to anyone who wants to be in that line of work, it doesn’t require any political favoritism at all to get in on that gravy train, although so many rules come with it, you may not see any increase in profitability.

Well hell, that’s $4 million in the bank, if you look at typical p&l.

not bad unbabe....

I guess there are only three respectable way to make your millions. Sports, entertainment and being a Dem politician who uses his/her connections.

What is it the Democrats always argue when they are targeting a Republican?

Something to the effect of “it’s the appearance of impropriety” that counts here.

So turn it around on them Akin, and no matter their argument use their own words.

The only unemployment I am interested in is
FIRING CLAIRE!!! She has to go, anywhere, but go!
As the election nears she claims she is at 50%
of the Senate in being conservative.

Now the usual GO TODD, GO!!!!

The federal government paid nearly $40 million dollars to Claire McCaskill’s husband’s businesses her first five years in office as Missouri Senator. During that time McCaskill has had influence over federal policy that has directly affected her family’s income.

This is SOP in Washington and until it stops we will be plagued with a Congress full of McCaskills.

In the meantime, let's see her tax returns.

Hello Senator Akin.

[Hotlanta Mike]

Bye bye Claire, we hardly knew ya!

"Businesses affiliated with the husband of Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill have received almost $40 million in federal subsidies for low-income housing developments during her first five years in office, though it appears only fraction of that has made it to the family’s bank accounts, according to an Associated Press analysis. "

Note how the press (in this case ABC, which did not break the story) becomes the minimizer, trying to salvage the Dems: ...it appears only a fraction....

How BIG is a "fraction?" You know if it was a Republican, this tattered fig-leaf artifice would be left out.
