80. Norquist and Hamsher asked for an investigation into corruption.
Edited on Fri Aug-19-11 07:35 PM by girl gone mad
Do you like corporate criminals?

As a taxpayer, do you enjoy getting ripped off by revolving door corporate/government officials who abuse their positions to loot the public purse?

You attack Hamsher while giving a pass to the person who likely committed real crimes and who definitely had no business overseeing the transfer of hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars to his former employer.

Either you're out to deceive or you are willfully ignorant of the facts.
