"It appears these shenanigans were the work of one young staffer who didn't have
enough supervision," the Democrat lying socialist bastard said.

LOL!
Well, at least Mrs. Harkin has a sane bone in her body.
A year or two ago, it was revealed in (IIRC) Senator Harkin's personal
wealth disclosure that the Mrs. has a fair-sized chunk of stock in
Conoco, one of those EEEVVVIIILLL oil companies.
(Or course, that is or will soon be Conoco-Phillips, due to the merger).

My memory may fail me, but I think Mrs. Harkin had something like $500,000
of the Conoco shares.

Harkin comes back to Iowa during campaigns and touts his Iowan roots. However, the truth is that he and his lobbyist wife live in a mansion in the Bahamas. Believe me, he NEVER talks about his radical support of abortion or his butt-kissin' support of the Clintonistas during impeachment! Most Iowans are clueless about national politics. He has scammed Iowans for years with his act. Sadly, the elderly here buy it cuz he spreads the "Republicans want to steal your S.S./Medicare" lie and because the teacher's unions here are so powerful.

The whole thing is really pathetic. I pray for a Ganske victory.

I have the article right here: it was $200,000 worth of Conoco stock. (Des Moines Register, 6-28-01 p. A1)

Looking further into Mrs. Harkins business you will find that she was involved in securing a huge loan for failing Enron that was backed by the feds.
