Sanford Bishop steered scholarships to family

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Rep. Sanford Bishop (D-Ga.) awarded three scholarships from the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation to his stepdaughter and wife’s niece between 2003 and 2005, according to records from the nonprofit group.

Bishop is the second Democrat found to have funneled CBC Foundation scholarship funds to relatives, threatening to turn the program into a larger political problem for the party. Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-Texas) recently paid back $31,000 to the foundation for scholarships that she improperly awarded to various relatives and children of a top staffer.

First Eddie Bernice Johnson, now Sanford Bishop. Throw in the ethics charges facing Charlie Rangel and Maxine Waters and one must ask themselves why the Congressional Black Caucus in particular is so riddled with cheats and shysters. Not good.

 

[Modbert]

Another corrupt politician, no surprise at this point which is all the more disappointing.

Though the bigger question we should ask ourselves is why Congress is riddled with so many cheats and shysters.

 

[Mr.Fitnah]

Congressional Black Caucus has so many cheats and shysters it might... tip over.

Not to worry. It's just racists who think these good folk have done anything wrong. You'll see. MSNBC and rdean will tell us so.
