So here’s a blast from the past. Remember this photo?
That’s then-Rep. Jim Nussle, R-Iowa, placing a bag over his head on the floor of the U.S. House in 1991, to express shame over the House banking scandal...[T]he National Republican Senatorial Committee is making it an issue in the Massachusetts special Senate election.
...It turns out that Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., the Democratic nominee, wrote 92 such “bad” checks, so the NRSC put together this video to commemorate the event.

ah yes... I remember it well... House members (mostly democraps) would write bad checks and the house bank would cash them. Their own personal slush fund.
And I dont remember any one ever getting to the bottom of who finally covered the money.
Massachusetts is *beyond* redemption.
Great find but for the AVG MA voter who is using their Obama phone and getting their unlimited SNAP mastercard payments will continue to vote for Markey. Its a foregone conclusion that the Rats control MA.

Grew up in Newton. It’s in the water : )
Ditto...I grew up in Lower Falls and Waban.And you?
Oh, yes. A rep from California, Bouncing Barbara Boxer has been severely punished by California voters by being repeatedly elected to the Senate for her crimes.
Newtonville, near the North High School.
And Mary Rose Oakar from Cleveland, Ohi.
Mine and Markey’s home town of Malden, MA is now 24% Non-Citizen and rising. Markey told us a significant population from Iraq and Afghanistan will be immigrating to Malden soon. He said they’ll be just like the Italians and Irish when they came here. We took that to mean they’ll be REPLACING the Italians and the Irish when we are finally forced out.
There were a few Republicans and they were wiped out in the next election, in spite of the Gingrich Revolution that happened that same year.
Anybody remember the scene at the end of Magnolia where it rains frogs? First, one or two fall, then a few more, and before long it’s a deluge?
Well, MY anti-Markey ad would replace the falling frogs with falling rubber checks, and each one would make a rubbery-boinking sound when it hit and bounced. A few would bounce into a foreground slowmo closeup and you could see the checks were made out to Markey for big sums, signed by Markey, and stamped OVERDRAWN.
When Eddie Boy’s great-grandparents immigrated to the U.S. an immigration agent did the family a great service by changing their surname from Malarkey to Markey.
