Story about a story?

Yesterday I got a call from a friend stating Congressman Alan Mollohan was going before the Grand Jury. I’m thinking this is big news, so I immediately search the net, and find nothing. Not Fox, not Matt Drudge, not anywhere. After a few days the announcement this shows up.

I would have thought this would have been bigger news. Many watch dog groups are looking into Congressman Mollohan's activities. Citizens Against Government Waste on March 9th named Mollohan Porker of the year. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington named him one of the 20 most corrupt officials in Washington, this same group nailed Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham (R) who is now surviving time.

All I can find is a story about a story, I find that strange. We have a high profile congressman for all the wrong reasons. It seems outside West Virginia this is known, but inside West Virginia it seems to be a big secret.

Reading Mollohan's record in congress he is a very ineffective leader, on March 28th, 2006 he introduced bill H.R. 5031 and got no co-sponsors. H.R. 5031 is an extension of Corridor O of the ADHS. This bill could have had strong bipartisan support from both Roscoe Bartlett (R) of Maryland's 6th District and Shelley Moore Capito (R) of West Virginia's 2nd Congressional District as both their districts would have directly benefited from Corridor O.

To me that indicates.... well the numbers speak for themselves about how he is doing his job.
