They All Really Are Corrupt, Aren't They?
Wednesday, June 06, 2007
On a day that Scooter Libby is sentenced to 30 months in jail for doing something, nobody knows what, the sentencing judge, U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton said.:
"People who occupy these types of positions, where they have the welfare and security of nation in their hands, have a special obligation to not do anything that might create a problem."
On this day, with that in mind, Ron Kessler of NewsMax, informs us that the son of the third most powerful person in the U.S. government, Paul Pelosi Jr., has been placed on the payroll of InfoUSA – even though he has no experience in the company's main business activities at a salary of $180,000 per year.
InfoUSA repeatedly rented marketing databases to unscrupulous persons who used the information to defraud the unsuspecting elderly, investigators found.
The company is also under fire in a shareholder lawsuit which alleges that (major Clinton backer Vinod) Gupta is appropriating company funds for personal use and his political pet projects. Shareholder critics are furious that Gupta had InfoUsa pay former President Bill Clinton $2.1 million in "consulting fees" since he left the White House, with another $1.2 million promised.
Gupta has also spent roughly $1 million of InfoUsa funds to provide corporate jet flights for both President Clinton and his wife Hillary.
Pelosi's son Paul acknowledged he has also been taking trips on corporate jets provided by Info USA.
This is the same Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who has promised an Honest Leadership and Open Government Act, an act that would prohibit House members from accepting gifts and travel from lobbyists or from organizations that employ lobbyists.
I guess the Honest Leadership and Open Government Act won't apply to an ex Democrat President, a junior Democrat Senator from NY, or the son of a House Democrat Speaker.
