Subject: When is a Bribe Not a Bribe?

For the life of me I had always assumed that if a Congressman was offered a BRIBE to vote for any legislation that this would be considered a criminal offense. Guess this doesn't apply to Republicans when you consider that yesterday on Meet the Press, the right wing loony running for the Oklahoma Senate seat stated very clearly on two occasions that he was offered a BRIBE by a Congressional committee. And now a day later and not one peep from Fox news about a bribe...what gives?

I was then offered a bribe by the committee to vote for the bill, I could have $15 million to spend wherever I wanted to. I don't believe that's the kind of government we want. ... And, in fact, when the bill came through, I did vote against it, but I made sure that every bit of that money went to Oklahoma, including the $15 million bribe.

so he took a bribe but it's OK because he gave all of it to Okla. and he was going to vote for it anyway. as if he got over on the bribers.

like, isn't anyone investigating this?

Is anyone at home in Okla.? (besides BartCop)
