How'd you like to pull a Saturday night drunk and wake up on Sunday morning in bed with that pair - one on each arm. Then comes the big question, "Which arm do I gnaw off first?" And, "Oh my God!!! Are those my dentures in that glass of water on the nightstand?!?!?!"

I, of course, have never been that drunk and conscious at the same time. Mercy always prevailed and I passed out first.

Am I just slow on the uptake or is a trend developing here? Perhaps I’ve been asleep for a few decades?

Are those applications for scholarships a federal form subject to truthfulness when filling in/signing? If so, her precious grandkids and others that are part of this rip-off should be indicted for fraud and theft (they knew damn well they are related to Johnson).

And Rep. Johnson's claim that she didn't personally benefit from the distributions is bull s**t... if her grandkids benefited so did Johnson. And this deal about the scholarships not being publicized to her constituents ... sounds like a personal slush fund to take care of family and friends with the U.S. tax payers as the bank.

These Congress members are slime.

Thanks for the link. It is indeed getting worse. So that’s a day in the life of the above the law set.

She was on KRLD radio today saying she did not know it was inappropriate to use her influence to give scholarships to her children’s kids. Riiiiiiiggghhhht.
She said she has given all the money back ($25,0000).

She said she has been “working like the devil” for her district.

At last she got that part right.
