Want to know how to live like a Washington insider? You could do worse than peruse the latest report on improper spending in Congress. One takeaway: From dining to hotels to shopping, D.C. politicians do not opt for adventure, at least when someone else is paying the tab. That’s according to a report released Thursday by the watchdog groups Issue One and The Campaign Legal Center. The report analyzed more than 200,000 Federal Election Commission records to determine how Congress Members and candidates use money raised through leadership political action committees.

When I take the family to DC on the weekend we often park at the base of Capitol Hill. We often walk past the Charlie Palmer Steakhouse just across the street from the entrance to Capitol Hill. The restaurant is dead on the weekends. Nice to get free steak dinners.

When I was a civil service employee, we were told that we could not accept anything from a person we were dealing with.

The sole exception was something like for instance a cup of coffee when it would be awkward not to.

There is only one person named in this article; Sen. Rand Paul R-Ky.

I guess we know which party is guilty of taking perks.
