Rostenkowski set the lowest standard possible for your typical Democrat when he was caught with a basement full of furniture from the Capitol building.
hope he picked up his asbestos suit from the cleaners.
It would be interesting to compare the write-ups for Rostenkowski and for Ted Stevens. How prominent is the dirt in each? I expect that the MSM would portray Rostenkowski as a Titan who — oh, by the way — had some ethical lapses, while Stevens would be portrayed as a corrupt felon who — oh, by the way — happened to serve some time in Congress.
Was it Rostey who left Reagan holding the bag on TEFRA? Reagans deal that would allow a tax increase in return for a reduction in spending? For every dollar of tax increase they were to cut 1.83 in spending. They raised the taxes (and then blamed Reagan and never cut spending)
Typical Chicago rat. Good riddance.
