Another Big Fat Liar

U.S. Rep Mark Udall, from Colorado, co-sponsored legislation to ban lawmakers from paying family members a salary out of campaign funds.

Seems like another no-brainer, but wait a minute...

Former Republican Rep Scott McInnis was investigated a few years ago for paying his wife more than $3,000 a month from his campaign fund after he announced he was retiring. McInnis responded to Udall's legislation by falsely claiming that Udall's wife is a lobbyist.

Udall should be all, "I know you are, but what am I?"

Currently, McInnis lobbies for EnCana, a foreign oil and gas company that holds the record in Colorado for one of the largest environmental fines ever. Seems they were responsible for a gas leak that contaminated local water.

ProgressNow reports that McInnis is quickly earning the nickname McLobbyist for selling out millions and millions of Coloradans in favor of big industry.
