    I imagine old Ted and the pervert wiener used up a few bucks of that slush fund.

    This is another example of why we need term limits and to clean house on these scumbag politicians.

    That is because the fund is for politicians and the Bush family business is politics.

    None of the Bush's ever did a thing to curb greedy politicians.
