I understand this public thief is abroad in Greece. And that her DC office is evading the media’s questions regarding the usual unethical allegations.

I was about to write exactly that, but Professor Y said it for me. The degree of shamelessness that this Congressional Representative practices is very alarming.

There is another saying “[It would] be the pot calling the kettle black!] so don’t expect Rep. Sanchez’s office to issue a
statement disavowing Valdez’s behavior. Who says she didn’t purchase the tickets with Sanchez’s nod and wink?

I agree that a comment from Sanchez’s office is in order and it would be a nice gesture. Since her office has remained silent the first sentence in your article is appropriate.

Not to single out Loretta Sanchez or anyone from her camp, but it’s so galling that these politicians see themselves as righteous do-gooders and when stuff like this happens, citizens are barely (if at all) surprised. We, the citizens, can see right through the charade each time.

It doesn’t matter how petty or large the crime is. If five others were involved doing similar petty crimes, the cumulative cost of them would be high. It all reflects upon the character and staff of that office. Its theft and its wrong.

I agree that Loretta Sanchez is an absolute low-life, a virus on the body politic, and a Congressional profiteer, but the mass media is only interested in castrating socially prominent males for adultery. Especially males who could possibly change the way government interacts with the people it’s supposed to serve. Since Loretta Sanchez represents absolutely no hope of even slightly making a positive difference in people’s lives, she is a threat to no one. Loretta’s freak could ruin the lives of dozens of families, and no one in Congress will lift a finger to condemn her because so many of them are engaging in similar behavior. That’s the sad reality.
