when do they call it corruption?

seems another GOPr got busted and, i hope, gets nailed to the wall.

The LAT fronts new troubles for Republican Rep. Jerry Lewis, who's chair of the über-powerful appropriations committee. The feds are investigating Lewis, and now we learn that a defense-contractor-funded PAC sent plenty of checks to Lewis' stepdaughter. The contractor, of course, was later earmarked for contracts via Lewis' committee. NBC just interviewed another defense contractor who said Lewis once tried to shake him down.
