Nancy Pelosi's tough new rules - P2P-Zone

Well, it’s not as tough as congresswoman Pelosi would have people believe. I’ll give two examples.

Example #1: This is really a three-pack. The first three proposed rules deal with gifts, travel, meals and entertainment for free. If it’s not free, it’s OK. So if the Representative pays something, even a small “token” payment, the rules are bypassed.

Only gifts from lobbyists or firms/associations that hire lobbyists are prohibited. Gifts from other sources (like rich businessmen) are OK.

Example #2: Free tickets to Redskins games are specifically mentioned, but no other sports events are mentioned. So, free tickets to other sports events may not come under the proposed rule. LOL, Pelosi must not be a Redskins fan.

Hey, if the Dems can pull off cleaning up government, good for them. I’ll take a very cautious wait-and-see approach on that.
