The Dems are going back 10 years looking for ethical "lapses" (alleged), as they work to clear scandals off the books before the coming elections. Makes you wonder which ones in the GOP are targeted for "poster boy" status to represent Republican character in 2014-2016.

"Thomas said the review likely stems from a Sun-Times report in December that found a $1 million grant from telecommunications company SBC, now AT&T, given to Rush's group to build a community center to teach technology skills never resulted in a finished center. And as the report points out, "it's unclear what happened to the money."

Um... ok

Overall, roughly $1.7 million (including the $1 million grant from SBC) was donated to Rush’s pet charities by businesses counting on favorable actions by him in Congress, according to interviews, and public records

Bobby Rush read the advanced Democrat graft guide. Hiding cash in your freezer is for chumps. Setting up a personal nonprofit and raking in the loot from corporations and government grants is where it is at. Remember nonprofit doesn’t mean you give yourself a very nice salary and perks.
