Congressman Real World can't handle his VACATION home on 174K a year?
You know, someone here always brings up the *gotta have two homes* excuse for not cutting Congressional pay. Well, seems like the Reality Show Congressman has *3* of them -- AND up tp half a million in school loans, thousands in credit card debt -- and a VACATION home for his budding *Duggar* lifestyle.

Ed Schultz just showed the amounts this assclown has run up all on his lonesome. My first suggestion to him is sell the vacation home. Second suggestion -- get a vasectomy Dude.

1. I swear I just saw the piece as I read your post, no April Fooling
I'm sure when this putz says we could all take pay cuts across the board, he means a flat amount not a percentage, much like the flat tax he probably thinks we should all pay.

2. Why doesn't washington just build a dormitory for politicians?

3. Every time I see a write-up where a congressperson is whining about
the expense of a second home in the DC area, I wonder if they were not aware that DC might be quite some distance from their actual home, and they might need to spend the night in DC from time to time.

Are they not aware of the geography of the US?
