California Democrats In Trouble For Fraud Case

This won't look good for my state's Democrats image.

Well that's nice. Way to go, dumbass.

This seems to be mostly a matter of local politics, with the exception of Feinstein.

Tangentially related: I remember disliking Feinstein for some reason, but I can't quite remember why.

So, she may have deliberately lied to the public about Iraq, although the guy accusing her of that is hardly a trustworthy source. She also seems to be a supporter of the usual bipartisan bad ideas, like ethanol subsidies. I can't say I'm a fan of her, but she's far from the worst person in Congress.

^^The fact that she's in bed with defense contractors? (I think it was defense contractors)

Edit: Ninja'd on this count.

Also, it may just be me but the title seems a bit misleading. It seems to imply that it's the democrats in trouble for committing fraud, instead of losing large amounts of money from fraud.

OP: Yeah. The Dems round here are screaming like chickens with their heads cut off. I have to say I do feel a bit of Schadenfreude.

Don't feel bad. Acceptable Targets and all.
