[Congressman Billybob]

Dear Ladies and/or Gentlemen,

In citing the "$8 million" figure, you are buying into a factual lie that is easily exposed. See my post #32 on this thread. As the saying goes, "Do not believe everything that you read," which is the new motto of the New York Times.

According to the initial story, Bennett had to draw on a $1.4 million line of credit at one point to cover losses.

I'm not an expert on gambling, but from what I understand about slot machines, it would be pretty difficult to recover from a $1.4 million deficit.

Bennett claimed that he came out pretty close to even overall.

Yes, I thought I had pointed out that he had not lost that amount, but merely played that amount (allegedly).
