Tomorrow night at 8 p.m. EST we will be joined on Pundit Review Radio by our good friend Matt Margolis, proprietor of Blogs 4 Bush, and co-author of the new book “Caucus of Corruption”
We will discuss the endemic nature of corruption within the Democrat party. Among the many examples we will be covering, we will definately cover the latest one. If you have not seen it yet, check it out.
Erick at Red State and CongressDaily have it right; House Democrats are passing midnight earmarks that they’ve hidden in the Intelligence Appropriations bill. As if this weren’t bad enough, House Democrats have refused to disclose most of those earmarks to the public – they have even refused to disclose them to other Members of Congress.
This is the most abusive and potentially the most damaging trick the House Democrats have tried this Congress. For all those who oppose earmarks and want to restore fiscal discipline to the process, I simply cannot stress how damaging this will be if it goes unchecked.The House Democrats’ Earmark Sham is a disgrace – so much for the “most honest and open Congress in history.”
Here is a link to Red State’s post:

Note the evasiveness of the dem “speaker” when called to the carpet by Westmoreland!
Of course the acting speaker is a red diaper doper baby ACLU congressman from our own Commonwealth of Mass.
