Jeb W. Bradley tries out his shiny new meme:She's voted with Nancy Pelosi, the speaker (of the U.S. House) from San Francisco, 100 percent of the time," he said in front of American flags, including one like those from colonial days. "So ... she should change her name to Carol Shea-Pelosi."
...Bradley said he was giving voters "another opportunity" to pick him, "because I think you know that I knew what it meant to stand 100 percent with the men and women who are wearing the uniform of this country, who are defending our freedom." Wow. The former street magician and congressman really likes that number. One hundred percent. That's three whole digits! Clearly he is way more partiotic than that Nancy Shea-Porter. Though I have heard some people say that they put 110% into everything they do, so maybe they are even more patriotic still than Jeb W. Bradley.
Here are some other numbers I found from his Wiki that don't add up to 100: Bradley's chief of staff, Debra J. Vanderbeek, ran his 2004 campaign. Tom Anfinson, the financial administrator in Bradley?s government office, said that Vanderbeek was paid 100 percent of her salary until the end of May 2004, 80 percent between June and September, and 50 percent between October and early November. Bradley?s re-election committee paid her $13,561 in salary for the campaign, which she failed to report as outside income to the Clerk of the House, plus $3,317 in reimbursements for un-itemized campaign expenses.[8]
In that 2004 campaign, two of his children, Sebastian and Noel, were paid a total of almost $27,000 in salary and expenses. Both were recent high school graduates; their jobs were described as "field coordinators". I find this interesting given Jeb W. Bradley's recent boast in CQ:"I want to bring to Washington the kind of common sense, fiscally prudent type of representative that I believe folks in New Hampshire want," Bradley said. Here's more of the good old days of fiscal Bradleyism.
One final magic trick: did you know that Jeb W. Bradley is still in Congress? |
