NEED TO KNOW Did Cong Wexler vote for (or did he earmark) appropriations for The Middle East Peace Center?
BACKSTORY Wexler lived with his family in Maryland and calculatedly used his in-laws address to establish Florida residency in overwhelmingly Democratic Palm Beach. He was elected in 1996 and has NEVER faced a serious challenge. Wexler won a seventh term with 66.2 percent of the vote.
Seeing that Wexler is Jewish, and his Palm Beach district is Jewish.....I just hope this is not the same wealthy Palm Beach affinity crowd that got wiped out investing with Madoff (sniffle).
So how did Wexler pull of a seventh term win with 66.2 percent? Luckily, Wexler's ardent supporters----"Democrats Living in Israel"----flew in to cast votes for him. The effort to keep Wexler in Congress by flying in planeloads of Democrats did not involve US tax dollars. Perish the thought.
Course, Wexler's new job at The Middle East Peace Center does involve US tax dollars.
Board meetings will consist of putting a multi-billion dollar price tag on the inevitable photo-ops of Peace Pals---Obami and Bibi (in $3500 Armani suits)---shaking hands in the Rose Garden (yawn).
