Congress's private health club spared from shutdown by Boehner: "essential"

WTF? I’d be the last one to defend Congress’ behavior! I think maybe YOU missed the point - which is that what you see there is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. That kind of privilege runs through those agencies and well past the point of elected officials only taking advantage of their positions.

I could certainly check on that particular gym. But, meh. Not gonna make calls just because you insult me. My bet is, you didn’t even realize there was a gym there to BE questioned. You can google, if you’re that interested. Or check Congressman Coburn’s rather scathing report on that particular agency and its wastes. He had plenty to say on the subject.
