Landrieu fights bribery charges

(The Patriot Post) - Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) is a top target for Republicans in November, and she is not helping her case at the moment. A liberal watchdog group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), is requesting that the Senate Ethics Committee investigate Landrieu for allegedly earmarking $2 million for Voyager Expanded Learning only days after receiving $30,000 from the company. Of course, Sen. Landrieu vehemently denies bribery—her office called the complaint “frivolous” and “wholly without merit.” Surely there’s nothing to this because Democrats always stay on the straight and narrow.
