I don't know how this one got by me, but

apparently a rethug is using his position to make things better for his wife. The great Jim Hightower responds...

Looking for a present for that special someone? Here's a unique gift that literally keeps on giving: a national park!

That's what Ralph Regula bought for his wife, Mary. What did it cost him? Nothing. He didn't buy it with his money, silly – he used yours. Ralph, you see, is a Republican congress critter and a powerful member of the house appropriations committee.

A few years ago, Mary founded an outfit called the National First Ladies' Library, and she wanted a proper home for it. So, in 2000, the subcommittee that Ralph just happens to chair created and funded the First Ladies' National Historic Site, making it part of our National Park Service. Where is it located? Why, in Ralph's district, of course.

These thugs are just brazen in the belief that they can get away with this. Does conflict of interest mean anything to this guy? :eyes:

Naa, only when the Dem's do it. Hypocrisy be thy name.
