Um not looking good for the democrat down in florida either. Is everyone corrupt down there or what?
Kendrick Meek tied to Criminal Fraud Case
The first thing this will do is block any attempt of Meek to make light of Crist's manager involvement or Rubio's credit card scheme. In fact, Greene (the derivative trading billionaire) is starting to look clean by comparison.
The police records show that Stackhouse engaged in an elaborate campaign to curry favor with Meek as the builder sought the congressman's help in obtaining federal funding for the project. In addition to helping the aide's house purchase, Stackhouse hired Meek's mother, former U.S. Rep. Carrie Meek, paying her $90,000 in consulting fees and paying for a Cadillac Escalade for her to drive.
Meek twice sought congressional earmarks to benefit the project but has insisted that was unrelated to his mother's work for the developer.
On Friday, he repeated that his efforts were designed to help bring jobs and development to the heart of his district — not to provide political payback to Stackhouse.
So uh, does anyone know what to do in this situation, cause I'm fresh out of ideas. Should Rahm take that call from Crist now?
UPDATE: Let me state unequivocally that this is a horrible cause of events, but it should not be defended in any way. Because I'm refusing to do so, doesn't make me "gleeful". It makes me rational. I don't like corruption on any side.
