Did you hear that Senator Dianne Feinstein has resigned from the Military Construction Appropriations subcommittee? Michelle pointed out that “The NYTimes is demanding an investigation. Arianna Huffington has launched ads lambasting Feinstein. The left-wing blogosphere is an uproar over Feinstein’s war profiteering.” Kidding. It seems this stems over some war profiteering that was done by here husband:
Feinstein abandoned MILCON as her ethical problems were surfacing in the media, and as it was becoming clear that her subcommittee left grievously wounded veterans to rot while her family was profiting from the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan. It turns out that Blum also holds large investments in companies that were selling medical equipment and supplies and real estate leases—often without the benefit of competitive bidding—to the Department of Veterans Affairs, even as the system of medical care for veterans collapsed on his wife’s watch.
As of December 2006, according to SEC filings and www.fedspending.org, three corporations in which Blum’s financial entities own a total of $1 billion in stock won considerable favor from the budgets of the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs:
# Boston Scientific Corporation: $17.8 million for medical equipment and supplies; 85 percent of contracts awarded without benefit of competition.
# Kinetic Concepts Inc.: $12 million, medical equipment and supplies; 28 percent noncompetitively awarded.
# CB Richard Ellis: The Blum-controlled international real estate firm holds congressionally funded contracts to lease office space to the Department of Veterans Affairs. It also is involved in redeveloping military bases turned over to the private sector.
Interesting….and now let’s look at the law firm Arnold & Porter, which Conyers hired. It seems that they have been very generous with their political donations to the Democratic party.
How come this isn’t being discussed on the cable news programs, or the nightly news?

The left, the Democrats, and the MSM want to keep this as quiet as possible.
OK, Where is the investigation, the forced resignation, the subpoenas of Feinstein and her husband???

Yes, where are the headlines, the hourly news updates on this? Where are the soundbytes from the floor of Congress demanding answers and justice? The MSM is far more interested in propagating the stupid manufactured pseudo-scandal nonsense about the 8 AGs fired.
the Democrite leadership and the MSM in general are trying very hard to detsroy America. They shoud get the honorary Jihadist of the Year award from Al Qaeda.
How anyone, and I don’t care how much you dislike Bish personally or politically, can throw their lot in with open enemies of America, I just do not understand. They must have a collective death wish. What is wrong with you Liberals? You are proving my theory that Liberalism is a form of mental illness. And yes, I do want credit for that. I have been saying it for more than 20 years; long before Savage ever thought of it.

Everybody’s asking the same question — even Glenn Reynolds. I’ve contacted Fox News this morning — crickets chirping.

5- So are you saying that Fox News is the only news source?

Let’s not forget how the Democrat-controlled media has never talked about Harry Reid’s financial problems. Or the fact that he took $68K from Abramoff-connected groups.
