Connect the dots--maybe it is corruption; maybe not, but it needs investigation.
I'm sure we can count on the GOP to turn over every stone and stretch every fact to find corruption. Rep. Garder (R - Colorado) tried a bit too hard on Wednesday and wound up looking like a fool: http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/LoanGuaran [Gardner is at 2:29:50 to 2:34:00.] Rep. Bilbray (R - California) was doing a much better job for the GOP side just before yielding back to Gardner.

Based on a bit of googling on Rep. Gardner, I'm guessing this isn't the first time he's made a fool of himself. I'm sure it won't be the last.

Sigh.
