Remember Nancy Pelosi railed against Republicans for having a “culture of corruption” when they controlled congress?


It hasn’t gotten any better under Pelosi and the Democrats since taking over congress.

Charlie Rangel forgot to pay his taxes, even though he writes the tax law.

Gregory Meeks and Malcolm Smith raised money for Hurricane Katrina victims, but forgot to give them the money.

Pedro Espada stiffens off 14 million dollars from a health care clinic he runs.

This is only a partial of sticky finger Democrats we have here in New York.

But, wait there’s one more loser to add to the cesspool.

From The New York Post:

House ethics investigators are scrutinizing Rep. Joe Cowley (D-Bronx) in a wide-ranging probe of fund-raising activities, The Post has learned.

The House Office of Congressional Ethics notified Crowley’s office this month that it had opened a preliminary review of the congressman’s fund-raising, sources close to the investigation said.

A senior staffer for Crowley said the congressman is cooperating with the inquiry and that he expects the investigation will go nowhere.

“Congressman Crowley has always complied with the letter and spirit of all rules regarding fund-raising and standards of conduct,” the staffer said.

As part of the investigation, the ethics office also sent letters to several K Street lobbyists seeking detailed data on fund-raising and political contributions by Crowley and seven other lawmakers, the Hill newspaper reported Monday.

Crowley, a six-term congressman, sits on the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee.
