Only a congressmen can make a million on land he doesn't own. But you will notice Hastert and Reid pulled the same scam; buying land, then having friends buying adjacent land waiting for the big payday.
Gotta love this, Reids business partner who helped him scam all this cash, Jay Brown, is a player in a major political bribery trial and in other prior organized crime investigations. Moral high ground strikes again.
Reid promptly hung up on AP when asked for a comment.
Hastert & Reid are native Washington crooks. What these idiots don't seem to get is how these stories get "spun" in places like Iran. They take pleasure pointing these things out as further evidence our politicians are hypocrites, liars, crooks and cant be trusted about anything... like Foley, a Chester, fighting against other Chesters... just trying to eliminate the competition, eh?
The congressional page program has been described as tantamount to N. Koreas "Joy Brigade", where youngsters are sent to service the drunk creepy old 'leaders'.. repub & dem examples of blatant abuse abound.
My wifes sister (from Iran) asked me... So this is the "freedom" the USA insists is best for the mid east?, where elite crooked officials bankrolled by a party scam the system with friends? Iran already has that, what is so great about the American way of being crooked? they get more than two choices at the polls.
Other countries look at how two parties have taken total control of our politics by bankrolling only the loyal who will vote in lock step, how the two sides do almost nothing but bicker like children while the country continues down the same road of decay... and then how our already rich elected leaders, get very rich with shady backdoor deals.
They'd love to get rid of the power hungry crooks in Iran, and have more freedoms... but then what?, replace them with "American style" crooks / liars? like Hastert, Foley, Delay, Clintons & Reid?... can you blame them, or any country, for rejecting the notion we have a system so superior its worth spreading around the world when clowns like these represent "The American way"? in the eyes of other countries?
I guess these clones are too stupid to figure out other countries read about this stuff too, or they just dont give a puke because they have made their millions and can leave office laughing all the way to the bank.

This is a cc of the Hastert scam, only Reid saw to it zoning laws were changed to make his land value skyrocket. I hope Hastert, Delay, "Duke", and Reid all share a toilet in the same cell one day.

tell your sister in law, nah, it is way better in the middle east than it is in the US, she best stay there .. and build a bomb shelter while she is at it ..
nothing is perfect in an imperfect world, there are crooks and pervs everywhere - we have the ability & freedom to place them in the spotlight and prosecute them. Can the same be said of Iran or any other arse backwards country in the ME?

Don't you understand he's a democrat and they can do no wrong. It's the Republican's "culture of corruption" that caused this, and maybe even a vast conservative conspiracy.

Clinton set the bar pretty high. I doubt we'll ever recover from the leadership example he set.
