Maybe U.S. Rep. Gregory Meeks should change the name of his fund-raising committee from Build America to Travel America.
A Daily News investigation found the Queens Democrat often uses his political action committee to spend thousands of dollars on cross-country jaunts, including multiple trips to Las Vegas, and tickets to the Super Bowl.
Incredibly, he even skipped the Dec. 5 congressional hearing on the auto industry bailout and jetted off to Las Vegas for a weekend at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino on the Strip.

Did he take his favorite boy toy?
This sounds like a Spitzer move.
In 2008 those placed in office by federal reconstruction policies go to Vegas at taxpayer expense.
If he hits the jackpot in Vegas, maybe he’ll bail them out himself.
In 1867 the Lousiana Legislature voted themselves $250,000 in Christmas hams”
How many persons were in the Louisiana Legislature in 1867-—and what in the world was the price of a ham in those day.
250 persons—high for any state even now— would average out to hams costing $1000 EACH.
Please clarify.
He’s a nancy boy?
Why not? To collect his pay check he doesn’t need to do a damn thing. Even show up for work. He could sit at home for 2 years if he wanted. I wonder why Blago left such a plum job.
I’m for term limits. 4 for the House and 2 for the Senate sound about right. Applied retroactively. Bye bye 300+ Congressman!
Or even a higher limit. 6 in the House, 3 in Senate. Just no Bob Byrds and John Dingels, no permanent entrenchment.
Yet another honorable dimocrat law breaker, I mean maker, running afoul. They just keep on giving, I mean spending.
To think of the so-called Palin scandals?? Amazing how none of these Dems were corrupt before the election. The corrupt press needs to be purged.
Pray for W and Our Troops
