Democratic Rep. Sanford Bishop of Georgia allegedly improperly spent more than $90,000 in official funds and campaign funds on personal expenses, including "fuel, golf expenses, meals, travel, tuition and entertainment," according to a newly released report from the Office of Congressional Ethics.

"The Congressman recognizes that these mistakes should never have happened to begin with. Going forth, he intends to provide better oversight to ensure errors like this never happen again," the statement added.

The OCE report also chronicles health problems with Bishop's longtime campaign treasurer, Evelyn Turner Pugh, who is alleged to have memory loss for several years and sometimes fell asleep while preparing Federal Election Commission reports.

1. For every one Democrat who is dirty there are 100 cons.

And as usual since it is a Democrat he will be dealt with, but cons get away with this shit en masse.

The law doesnt apply to cons at this time.

So yes, deal with him...

Hey, what about the BILLIONS rump the traitor and his GOP pals are stealing right now?

3. So then was is accounting mistakes or dishonesty?

It can be tempting to use the power of the office for perks, but people need to remember they are there to serve the public and not live high on the hog with donor money.

Hopefully this will be resolved, but if he is crooked then we need better representation.
