I didn't see this posted anywhere else but it appears that Cynthia McKinney misspent some of our hard earned dollars. Below for a little bit more:

"Channel 2 Action News has uncovered documents showing McKinney, D-Ga., spent about $1,000 of taxpayer's money to fly singer Isaac Hayes to Georgia to help dedicate a new office in Atlanta."
I know this is really, really, small potatoes compared to the rampant Republican corruption going on these day, but it was a violation of House ethics rules. It underscores a point we need to make to all the Dems we elect at every level: To make the charges of corruption stick even tighter to the Republicans, we need to be spotless. Even little events like this one can give our loyal opposition ammunition to use against us, "See, they're doing it too!".
So please, we need to keep our eyes on our own and keep it clean and keep it honest.

P.S. I guess Rep McKinney and her staffers are going to pay the money back.
