Jack Kingston: “yesterday Democrat after Democrat cried for campaign finance reform. For Democrats to talk about campaign finance reform…”

“yesterday Democrat after Democrat cried for campaign finance reform. For Democrats to talk about campaign finance reform is a little like getting mad at the road for the transgressions of a drunk driver. Where have they been when it comes time to talk about Buddhist temple fundraising or selling the Lincoln bedroom or Pauline Kanchanalak or John Huang or Charlie Trie or Eric Hotung or any of the aforementioned people or subjects? But just in case those are not good enough, I have got some additional reading material for some of you. These are good. I think you may have heard of these papers, the Wall Street Journal yesterday, Reno Review, ``That could lead to Gore independent counsel.'' Washington Post, September 4, ``U.S. set to probe Gore calls.'' Washington Times, ``Justice looking anew at probe of Gore.'' Even the New York Times, that great conservative publication that it is, front page, ``Inquiry on Gore fund-raising.'' Lots of good reading material in here. I am going to leave it in the House Chamber because I know some of you maybe do not read or have not had time to, but I am going to encourage you to do that because when it comes time to talk campaign finance reform, there is a lot of material right here, and I say let us start doing it on a bipartisan basis.”
