Read MoreSymptom of the Disease: Candidates for president spent $7 billion on 2012 election

Read MoreCulture of corruption: Menendez and free private jet rides to Dominican Republic
What scum. And let me point out if this guy was a Republican I’d be calling him scum too. These are the benefits you get from “friends” when you’re a United States senator. Pure corruption.
