"Illegal For You, But Not For Us!"

I noted this several weeks ago and the liberal media has now “found it out” after they could ignore it no longer. I should not that Fox News was one of the first to “notice” it and report it. The story is this: members of Congress MAY “insider trade” with impunity and they use that to become millionaires during their tenure in Congress. Meanwhile they put people (like Martha Stewart) in PRISON for doing the same. How many times has a politician gone to Washington a pauper and left as a millionaire? It happens so often it is almost a “trend.” One politician (or two, maybe) are the Clintons, who waste not a moment in telling us how rich they are. Seems to me Bill Clinton only made about $40,000 a year as governor of Arkansas. I could name many more, including some who were already rich (like Nancy Peelosi) who become SUPER rich while in office by taking advantage of “insider knowledge.” This is WRONG, but don’t expect to see Congress do anything to reverse it. I’m really surprised to see CBS, a premier member of the “state-controlled Media” break this story. The pressure to do so must have been immense. (60 Minutes)
