Insider Trading By Constipated Congress? Oh, Yumy, Yumy, Yumy...

"Federal agency officials are generally prohibited from buying and selling stock in the companies they oversee. But Congress long ago exempted itself from ethics rules regarding investments (my italics). At one time this exemption made sense: Farmers wanted to be able to serve on the Agriculture Committee without selling their farms, for example. But many lawmakers now interpret this exception as carte blanche to invest after taking office." (Shiela Kaplan, MA).

I like it..."exempted themselves". What a tribe of shifty shits they are. And now they are talking about 'policing themselves'! Yeah, right. That idea has as much credibility as Mr Fox guarding the chicken coup.
I know Joe Public aren't always the sharpest pencils in the box, but for fuck sake; even depleted gene pool Dan wouldn't miss their latest scurrilous scam.
