The family of Joe Biden, who will be officially nominated as the vice presidential candidate of the Democratic Party's 'reform Washington' ticket with Barack Obama Thursday night, appears to be enmeshed in the same D.C. money game that Obama denounces.

One of the senator's sons -- Hunter, a Washington lobbyist -- and the senator's brother, James --received a $1 million investment in their purchase of a hedge fund company from the senator's largest political donor, an Illinois law firm, SimmonsCooper. The brother and the son subsequently repaid the $1 million to the law firm, which specializes in representing asbestos victims.

At about the same time, the firm also steered dozens of asbestos litigation cases to a Delaware law firm where the senator's other son, Beau, worked before moving on to become elected attorney general of the state of Delaware. Beau Biden is credited with acquiring the Illinois client for his firm whose long time managing partner describes himself as a Biden family friend

Because of him I am sceptical of all politicans who hail from east of the Mississippi River.

I agree with all that you said, but with the words of Pat Buchanan, he sure had the Left's number even back in the 70's.

Hi kid ain’t a minor living at home either. The kid is in his mid-twenties and makes a million a year as a DC lobbyist.

The majority of the MSM has no time for this, they are busy investigating whether or not Sarah Palins youngest daughter got a D in deportment at grammar school.

Agnew's crimes, or charges of crimes were known early in his term as vice President. Nothing came to pass until the “opposition media/party” felt that they had the bigger fish on the line. Nixon had blown his Presidency on a cover=up of a minor crime. Now, the jackals had him in their sights but, one small problem, Agnew was unacceptable as President. So, they forced him into the plea, Ford was appointed and then Nixon was dead meat.
As the reprobate from Hyde Park once said, “in politics, nothing happens by accident”.
