They are all vile scum out to get rich and wield power over the lowly minions. Politicians are the lowest form of pond scum, wretched pustules of pillaging, filling their coffers with our tax dollars, drunk with power. The whole decrepit, deceitful, diseased, dynasty of deception needs to be destroyed.
Congressman Combating Harassment Settled His Own Misconduct Case
WASHINGTON — Representative Patrick Meehan, a Pennsylvania Republican who has taken a leading role in fighting sexual harassment in Congress, used thousands of dollars in taxpayer money to settle his own misconduct complaint after a former aide accused him last year of making unwanted romantic overtures to her, according to several people familiar with the settlement.
A married father of three, Mr. Meehan, 62, had long expressed interest in the personal life of the aide, who was decades younger and had regarded the congressman as a father figure, according to three people who worked with the office and four others with whom she discussed her tenure there.
But after the woman became involved in a serious relationship with someone outside the office last year, Mr. Meehan professed his romantic desires for her — first in person, and then in a handwritten letter — and he grew hostile when she did not reciprocate, the people familiar with her time in the office said.
