Excerpt -

NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and two other prominent Democrats have failed to disclose they are officers of family charities, in violation of a law requiring members of Congress to report non-profit leadership roles, USA Today reported in its Monday editions.

Rep. Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, the fourth-ranking House Democrat, and Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana also did not report they serve as family foundation directors, according to financial disclosure reports examined by USA TODAY.

All three foundations are funded and controlled by the lawmakers and their spouses, and do not solicit donations from outside sources.

But but but Nancy's house was supposed to be the "Most Ethical" house ever. It turns out Nancy's not being truthful. I am shocked I tell you, shocked.

What do you expect from a bunch of crooked RATS and former Clintonistas.

Should go directly to the story

[volunbeer]

Did anyone really expect the Dems to clean it up?

Anyone?

Do I get to be the first to say...CULTURE OF CORRUPTION!

The most interesting part of the USA Today article suggests that Pelosi's filing of a false report could be prosecuted as a felony.

Now that would be a good thing!

Yes, the importance of this information is why I pinged Impeach98. He works with Melanie Morgan who is gathering information on Peloski for a book. Oops, I always spell her name that way.

Things like this and the Harry Reid land deals just shows that the word "ethical" can have different meanings to different people.

Pelosi & Emmanuel will RAKED OVER THE COALS about this failure to disclose on the "Today" show and the "CBS Evening News". < \fantasyland>

[EDINVA]

oh, please, it was just an administrative snafu. Inadvertent, even.

[wodinoneeye]

Maybe Pelosi just forgot ???

Not a good sign for someone in an important situation.

Why should it be covered up ???

Too many slush funds that would come to light if it had to be handed over to someone else??

A bad record for the 'charity' that indicates 'strange' payments or irregularities that indicate its a tax scam with most of the money spent on luxuries for family members or political machinations ???


The libtard media will give it a pass (since its not a republican who did it).

How exactly does this family foundation thing work? Is it primarily a tax dodge or are there other benefits? (I know Ted Kennedy donates his salary to his family foundation, and somehow I don't trust his altruism!)

Yeah, and Sandy berger could be doing hard time in Leavenworth.

[Reform4Bush]

When do the calls for impeachment begin?

[skimask]

Nancy Pelosi "The Tuna Queen", is unethical. Surely you jest. Why Nancy was the one who yelled the loudest about the "Culture of Corruption".
