Congressman Charlie Wilson skips out on taxpayers

Congressman Charlie Wilson fails to show up for the second "Stimulus" oversight committee meeting.

"While Mr. Miller and the panel's top Republican were there, only Rep. Kathy Dahlkemper, Pennsylvania Democrats, came to the hearing. Absent were Democratic Reps. Steven R. Rothman of New Jersey, Lincoln Davis of Tennessee, Charles A. Wilson of Ohio, Alan Grayson of Florida and Bart Gordon of Tennessee. Republican Rep. Ralph M. Hall of Texas also skipped the session, while Rep. Brian P. Bilbray of California dropped by for the final hour of the nearly three-hour hearing."

Washington Times story.

I've got an idea where he might have been.......traveling around the 6th district and throwing this money around....using it as his own campaign money, buying your vote with your own money.

Charlie Wilson being on this sub-committee is akin to the fox in the hen house.
