I believe it was Fred Barnes who reported that Dems didn't want Torricelli on the Finance Committee because they suspected he would favor Bush's tax cut. So before Torricelli was assigned the Dems made him promise that he would oppose any Bush tax cut in committee. Barnes noted, "so much for bipartisanship".

Re: Ex-Congressman Charged in $10 Million Fraud Scheme By David Morgan PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - A former congressman and state Democratic Party leader was indicted on Thursday for allegedly bilking $10.4 million from banks and individuals including his mother-in-law to cover huge business losses.... dailynews.yahoo.com Thanks for that Mezvinsky link. She is Al Hunt's hero. Criminal activity among Dems is never a shock. The shock is when the media mentions it.

Chutzpah incorporated: Dem sues drug firm, hospital, doctors for what the Feds say was his criminal conduct: That explains it One day after being indicted on federal fraud charges, former Rep. Edward Mezvinsky, Iowa Democrat, filed a lawsuit claiming he developed mental problems after using a malaria drug and subsequently ran up millions of dollars in debt, the Philadelphia Daily News reports. Mr. Mezvinsky and his wife, former Rep. Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky, Pennsylvania Democrat, filed suit against Roche Holding AG, Presbyterian Medical Center in Philadelphia, a Montgomery County, Pa., pharmacy and Mr. Mezvinsky's physician, Dr. Bradley Fenton. Mr. Mezvinsky took the drug Lariam for dozens of business trips to Africa in the 1990s. From the suit: "As a result of the psychiatric syndrome caused by his long-term use of Lariam, he invested rashly in bad investments . . . [and] depleted his own financial resources, his wife's financial resources, as well as his wife's inheritance." Said Mezvinsky attorney Michael Barrett: "Clearly, the responsibility lies with the manufacturers." washtimes.com
