Congressman-elect Mike Sodrel has cancelled a proposed motorcoach trip to Washington that would have allowed his 9th-district groupies to participate in a questionable ethical junket in gleeful celebration of the politics of reactionary conservatism, with the added bonus of watching Sodrel sworn into office - not in person, but on television.
Wheeee!!
Dismissing the ethics controversy as a mere blip on his organizational radar screen, the motorcoach magnate Sodrel candidly admitted that it was better to cancel the tour package rather than risk being seen in a bad light at the outset of his career in Congress.
As a reader has noted, there'll be plenty of time for looting once Sodrel's official congresisonal business cards are printed - why waste it now?
