Monday, February 20. 2006Ricky Hits The Jackpot Fort Santorum Bunch has put a summary of his investigation up on his Daily News blog, Attytood. Here are two highlights: 1. Santorum and his wife received a $500,000, five-year mortgage for their Leesburg, Va., home (pictured at top) from a small Philadelphia private bank run by a major campaign donor — even though its stated policy is to make loans only to its “affluent” investors, which the senator is not. Good-government experts said the mortgage from Philadelphia Trust Co. raises serious questions about Santorum’s conduct at a time when he is the Senate GOP’s point man on ethics reform. They explained it would be a violation of the Senate’s current ethics rules if Santorum received something a regular citizen could not get. 2. A political action committee chaired by Santorum, America’s Foundation, spends less money on direct aid to GOP candidates — its stated purpose — and more on expenditures than similar PACs. And its expenditure reports are littered with scores of unorthodox expenses for a political committee, with charges at coffee and ice cream shops and fast-food joints as well as supermarkets and a home-hardware store. We highly recommend reading the summary and the full article. |

Let's kick out Rick in 2006!
As for point two, wow, I'm shocked at the naked audacity, the bold lack of shame - spending PAC money on ice cream! Will the corruption never end!?
