Dianne Feinstein has usually struck me as a reasonable Senate liberal, unlike, say, Harry “Raspy” Reid, or the dim bulb junior Senator from California, Barby Boxer. Feinstein doesn’t engage in over–the–top rhetoric and while there are plenty of positions she has taken that one can disagree with, her comportment has never been an issue since she has been in Washington. Until now. She has just resigned from a Senate subcommittee that concerns military procurement, after it was disclosed that her businessman hubby has benefited substantially from work that she and her former subcommittee members voted on. This occurred despite the fact that Feinstein is regarded as one of the five wealthiest Senators currently in office.
The news of this blatant conflict of interest has been out for some time; why did it take DiFi so long to respond?
Check out Michelle Malkin for more details. She is in my blogroll on the right.
