GOP Straight Up Bribes Democratic Senator In Effort To Block Obamacare from the Huffington Post
"The Washington Post is reporting that Republicans offered to move Democratic state Sen. Phillip P. Puckett and his daughter into prestigious jobs in exchange for Puckett's resignation, which will flip the chamber into Republican hands. Pucket will officially accept the offer on Monday, the paper reported."
If true, this is pretty breath-taking. For the sake of a cushy job, this law-maker would sell out on health care availability for 200,000+ of his constituents. Incredible. Side note: how does a lawmaker "officially" accept a bribe? UPDATE: Puckett declares that he will not take the job. My take: He's basically taken a "rain check" on his bribe. He'll take the cushy payoff job once the media stops raining shit on him.
