Here are some claims to investigate:

Sherwood said CREW is ''primarily a Democratic group'' run by a former staff member of Democratic Congressman John Conyers Jr. of Michigan.
''I think they’re trying to win an election,'' Sherwood said of CREW.
Seligman Steiner said Melanie Sloan, the executive director of CREW, is a former federal prosecutor who once worked for a committee that Conyers headed. She said Sloan wasn’t one of Conyers’ staff members.
''He might hold this against Melanie: She helped craft the Violence Against Women Act,'' Seligman Steiner said.
Seligman Steiner insists CREW is a non-profit, non-partisan organization that serves as an ethics watchdog for citizens.
''We don’t target the party, we target corruption,'' she said.

Notice how the Times Slander managed to tie Sherwood's bimbo problem to a low-bid contract that amounts to 0.66% of the grant money he steered to a conservation project. They really smell blood here.

However this gets spun, it STILL was a bad move to have federal $$ buy a truck from his dealership.. in this day and age one needs to be above reproach.

In general, I think these guys are way too loose and easy with our money. The Repubs are in charge, so naturally they will be more often targetted... but the mentality of D.C. where there is no accountability to the public, and we can go on charging the credit card forever, leads to very lax practices. One doesn't have to be actually corrupt to be contributing to a corrupt culture.

''We don’t target the party, we target corruption,'' she said."

And CREWS' position on the William 'Cold Cash' Jefferson (Democrat, Louisiana) situation is???

chirp....chirp....chirp.
