Should've been over a long time ago, by the sound of it. There was one
paper, I forget which - maybe the Post? - that's been hounding him for
ages.

How much of the political class is just a bunch of grifters? Quite a
bit, apparently.

Later, Adams. No one will miss you.

On the other hand, seems like this might queue up the return of the
Cuomo family. They're like fungus, NY can never quite shake them.

Getting a piece of the "American Pie" is old political news.

I believe political grifting is neo-news that is made possible via
electronic media (TV, Internet). I'm not aware of this going on in
radio only days. It seems a number of Republicans are on this
bandwagon...from what I see in the news...maybe Democrats do it, but I
can't recall any news about it.

Congressional members involved in stock market trading for gains, as
based upon "insider information," is old news.

Many different ways to get ahead financially, when in a position of
power.
