Over at The Shad Plank, they came across this report from Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) regarding the ability of some of our Congressional representatives to funnel money to their families. Among the 96 members of Congress — 41 Democrats and 55 Republicans — reviewed were some from Virginia, including Jo Ann Davis, Tom Davis, and Randy Forbes.

Too bad shame is such a quaint notion these days.
The totals to Mrs Davis found by the report (over $25,000 plus a $78,000/year part-time job) do not include the tens of thousands of dollars that Davis had directed to his wife’s campaign when donors reached the federal limit for his own campaign.
