Cheap Trick

I see CONgressman Leonard BOZO-well has let loose with a negative attack ad on Tom Latham.

The ad (Deal), rips Latham's insider deal for voting against TARP, but the "Latham family bank actually received $2.4 Million from the bailout".

The ad then suggests, "no wonder Latham's net worth has increased nearly six times since coming to Congress" and continues with "it's true, Latham and his family bank cashed in your tax dollars".

FactCheck.org notes that Latham resigned as a director when he first ran for Congress and has not had a management role since.

It is also shown that  “At the time we discussed entering into TARP, we did not consult with any of our owners individually".

Latham had no knowledge of the transaction, something BOZO-well can't claim in his dealings with a cell phone company and the scientific community is united in that fact.

BOZO-well has raked in more than $50,000 since 2002 for hosting a cell phone tower on his property, while sponsoring a number of bills designed to boost rural telecommunications.

CHA-CHING!

As for Latham's net worth increasing, BOZO-well's has increased from 1995, when he first ran for Congress, to his latest disclosure in 2011.
