Seriously, Chris Canon? Seriously?

I don't know if you saw the paper this morning but Chris Cannon is in trouble because he has been pushing thru legislation that helps his lawyer/lobbyist brother Joe. A couple of interesting comments from Chris Canon:

"If my wife decided to lobby, then we would probably say 'No talking in my office.' I just don't see my brother in the same category." Really? You really believe that? He also then says "A lot of people that I know are lobbyists...I would put Joe in that category, not as a family member."

Not only all of that...but his brother Joe owes Chris $250,000. So you have a brother that owes you a bucket load of money and he is lobbying on behalf of his clients who, if the legislation works, would probably pay Joe quite a bit of money which in turn could be used to pay off some of his debt to his congressman brother.

Anyway, it is just always funny how nice of a spin someone can put on a situation when it looks so obviously bad.
