Democratic Culture of Corruption Update
WNBC in NYC is reporting that
Sen. Bob Menendez is teh subject of a federal investigation. Here's what they're reporting:
Then again, we're talking about New Jersey, which is nothing if not the sleaze factory of the East Coast. This is the state that's brought us such ethically pure politicians as Robert 'The Torch' Torricelli, Jon Corzine and Jim McGreevey. And that's just since I started blogging.
Does this mean that Democrats will officially abandon their 'Culture of Corruption' Campaign? Of course it doesn't. They'll just pretend like this investigation isn't real while talking about Republicans' corruption. The flaw in that is the Right Blogosphere, which daily tells 'the rest of the story'. The flaw is that liberals don't think the Right Blogosphere is impacting elections and perceptions, a fatal flaw.

A federal investigation has been launched into the financial dealings of New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez and a nonprofit agency he has helped over the years, sources said.Menendez wasn't just trying to profit from this organization. He was attempting to increase his profits by securing funding through the federal government. I don't know if that's illegal but I can't imagine that this is the type of thing that most Americans would condone.
The U.S. attorney's office has subpoenaed the agency's records pertaining to a house once owned by then-congressman Menendez, sources told NewsChannel 4's Brian Thompson.
Menendez, a Democrat, has denied there was anything wrong with his renting the house to the North Hudson Community Action Corp. for more than $3,000 a month, even as he was working to obtain millions of dollars in federal grant money while he was a congressman.
