The only thing I remember after the bill passed was some Democrats calling for an investigation because the vote buying was over the line. FNC mentioned it a few times and I thought at the time the charges had merit and would get ugly and there would be resignations. Then it got dropped.

I don't know if this bribery charge is a continuation of those original allegations or not.

My memory is hazy but some Congressman who has a son running for elected office was told they would make sure he never got the job if said Congressman didn't sign the bill. What the names were was not revealed on FNC, but it was apparent they knew who the players were.

Having said that, Drudge is not always reliable, as you mentioned.

I had forgotten about that. Thanks for refreshing my memmory.

Even with this 'new' information you've reminded me about, I am still suspect of Drudge. He seems to love the sensational,,, if you doubt it, go check his page right now,,,, Janet Jackson's exposed bossom is there for all to view.
