The legal group Judicial Watch has charged IRS Commissioner Rossotti with conflict of interest involving a company he founded. Rossotti still owns stock in the company, his wife works there, and Rossotti buys software from this company for the IRS. That is right. Rossotti buys from Rossotti. If that is not enough to roast your chestnuts, the charge claims, and I quote, Rossotti got a conflict waiver from the Clinton administration in exchange for targeting and auditing Clinton's opponents. What is the surprise? In addition, Rossotti is scheduled for another big, fat bonus from Congress. Beam me up. The Internal Rectal Service does not need bonuses, they need abolished. I yield back the fact that if a Member of Congress did what Rossotti did, you would go straight to the slammer.
