Further proof that those in power cannot possibly understand how everyday people live

I heard this report on California Representative Dana Rohrabcher this morning on the radio and had to share it with you:

Jack Abramoff gave Rohrabacher and his wife a baby shower for their expected triplets, in which guests contributed $3000 to a fund for a 24-hour Nanny Service in Washington DC which costs $250/day. Full story here.

Had Jack Abramoff never gotten in troube, we wouldn't have known this - because it actually breaks no ethics rules. However, I think it strains the limits of human decency when leaders - Democrat, Republican, and, yes, even Christian (especially Christian) - live high on the hog while claiming to represent us.

Yuck.

Love,

I'm sorry to report that your link is broken, Barbara.

This is sad.

I hope things are wrapping up nicely with your book.
