I know many have been enthralled by the scandal involving Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, but he's a rank amateur when compared to many Republicans. Check this out regarding Senator Thad Cochran's top aides:
They will not disappoint, folks. Not only was she tied to Abramoff, she took more of your tax money than she was entitled to.
Those Republicans... they never disappoint...
Senate aide linked to Abramoff took 2 salaries - Yahoo! News.
A former top aide to Sen. Thad Cochran now implicated in a lobbying scandal was paid more than $20,000 by the Mississippi Republican after leaving his office and starting another high-paid government job at the state's public broadcasting agency.
Ann Copland left Cochran's office last spring after working there for three decades. She went on the payroll of Mississippi Public Broadcasting on March 24, at a salary of $92,000. But Copland continued to collect her roughly $140,000 annual salary from Cochran's office through May 9 — an overlap of nearly two months.
Copland could not be reached for comment Thursday. Cochran's spokeswoman, Margaret McPhillips, said Copland was kept on the senator's staff to ensure "a seamless transition."
