She did not know it was illegal to use your position to grant favors to your family

The black congresswoman’s illegal largesse to her family and friends now amounts to 23 scholarships improperly handed out (at last count).

The congresswoman, who is the former head of the scholarship committee, claims she was not aware of the nepotism rule.

She's either incompetent by reason of stupidity, or evil by reason of intentionally misapproprating funds and then deliberately trying to avoid prosectution by lying.

Which is it, Eddie Bernice?

Congressional Black Caucus Longs For The Good Old Days Of Bush

The Congressional Black Caucus uses a study to proclaim there are not enough black people on Sunday morning political talk shows, despite having to admit that Fox News is one of the best at having black representation.

Too bad they did not remember that Condoleezza Rice or Colin Powell used to be regular guests on those shows. Ahh, I guess they long for the good old days when Bush had one of the most diverse administrations ever.

Lefties Two Faced Over Katrina Help

For most of the last few years, President Bush has said there was enough money allocated to help areas ravaged by Katrina, but the money was being held up by government red tape. So, when anyone tried to push through emergency money onto a bill such as the defense budget, he would say there’s no need to put this in, there’s plenty of money, we just need to clear up the red tape.

This would be met with howls of indignation by the lefties, including Mary Landrieu and the Congressional Black Caucus. They would blast Bush for not caring about Louisiana and abandoning the people there.

Now along comes the ‘stimulus’ bill, or the Confiscation Of Your Hard Earned Money To Be Given Away As A Reward To Liberal Cronies Act of 2009. Want to guess how much money is in this boondoggle for fixing Katrina damage?

Zip. Zero. Nada. Not one penny.

Are the lefties howling about President Obama’s insensitivity towards Mississippi and Louisiana? On the contrary, they are not bothered in the least about this. In fact, they say they are okay with it. They say there’s plenty of money, it’s just being bogged down by red tape.

Sound familiar?
