Representative Laura Richardson (D-CA)
Deadbeat
California's deadbeat congresswoman Laura Richardson is back in the news again. As always, it's because she has (allegedly) done something bad. While in California politics, Richardson was known for her failure to pay her mortgage on various houses she owned. Accordingly, Richardson has previously graced the pages of Fousesquawk.

Now she is accused of using congressioanl aides to work on her campaign on government time using government resources.

Of course, Richardson pulled out the race card implying that she is only being investigated by the Ethics Committee because she is black. (Try being a black conservative, Laura.)
Why not write her office and ask her? Black, Hispanic or whatever, she's a deadbeat.
ReplyDeleteIf the allegations are true (you ought to give her at least as much benefit of the doubt as you are demanding for Herman Cain), they do not establish that she is a deadbeat, but an embezzler of time. Are conservatives pushing this investigation because they have some sort of animus against light-skinneded liberals?
