The hypocrisy of the political class, illustrated
Glenn Reynolds, Instapundit.comPATHETIC: "Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) blasted 'tea party' protests yesterday, labeling the activities 'despicable' and 'shameful.'" Ironic: "The husband of an Illinois congresswoman pleaded guilty Wednesday to tax violations and bank fraud for writing rubber checks and failing to collect withholding tax from an employee. Robert Creamer, a political consultant married to four-term U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky, could face four years in prison on the two felony counts when he is sentenced Dec. 21." According to the article at the link, Mr. Creamer walked off with at least $2.3 million that didn't belong to him. Tax hypocrisy abounds in Washington, but they're angry that people are protesting. . . . Posted by: Mike 2009-04-16 |
