The "Specter" Of Guilt

File this in the “It’s funny when it happens to them” file.

“FBI agents have reviewed U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter’s financial disclosure statements as part of an investigation into a Specter aide whose husband’s lobbying firm secured millions in federal funds with Specter’s help. The agents are ‘conducting an investigation into allegations of possible criminal misconduct’ by Specter staff member Vicki Siegel Herson, according to an FBI letter sent in August requesting an internal staff report on the aide.” (H/T - The Philadelphia Daily News)

That’s a shame. I would hate to see a man who has done so much good for Pennsylvania become embroiled in an ethical controversy. Good luck, Arlen. SYLG is pulling for you.
