Cisneros probe continues
I admit, when I saw the headline: Spending Continues in Cisneros Probe , I thought, huh, that's a weird coincidence, I guess there must be someone else named Cisneros out there, like, you know, Clinton's HUD secretary. But, um, no...it's Clinton's HUD secretary. You know, the guy who paid off his mistress to the tune of a $100,000 grand and told the FBI that it was only $50,000. So, yeah, that's serious, right? Because um, that's a chunk of change. Fiscal conservatives could sure see paying, um....$21 million on an investigation of a guy who hasn't been in government for nine years (he served from 1993-1996) and who received a presidential pardon. Because after all, he lied about how much he paid the mistress. That's SERIOUS. How many police officers would $21 million pay for? How many school teachers? How many firefighters? Hell, how many firefighter widow funds?
