Heh, but those don't get media attention ;)

I am more than willing to bet that they just get wiped and regifted to someone.]]>Apr 12th 2006 4:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/12/ipac-sends-ipods-to-senators/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/12/ipac-sends-ipods-to-senators/Apr 12th 2006 4:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/12/ipac-sends-ipods-to-senators/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/12/ipac-sends-ipods-to-senators/]]>Apr 12th 2006 4:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/12/ipac-sends-ipods-to-senators/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/12/ipac-sends-ipods-to-senators/

It is part of a senator's job description to help a major employer in his or her home state, and it is not unusual for that employer to encourage that help or to reciprocate with campaign contributions. In Mrs. Clinton's case, her alliance with Corning provides a window into how she has used her singular clout as a former first lady on behalf of new constituents in her adopted home state, and how those efforts in turn have helped her to bolster her already powerful fund-raising machine and win over previously skeptical New Yorkers.

Were I one of these Senators, the word "progressive" would instantly make me wary.]]>Apr 12th 2006 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/12/ipac-sends-ipods-to-senators/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/12/ipac-sends-ipods-to-senators/- Thomas Jefferson]]>Apr 12th 2006 6:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/12/ipac-sends-ipods-to-senators/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/12/ipac-sends-ipods-to-senators/Apr 12th 2006 6:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/12/ipac-sends-ipods-to-senators/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/12/ipac-sends-ipods-to-senators/

Its like a congressional white elephant exchange.

I would be suprised if ANY of the senators took these things. It's against their rules.]]>Apr 13th 2006 12:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/12/ipac-sends-ipods-to-senators/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/12/ipac-sends-ipods-to-senators/Apr 13th 2006 4:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/12/ipac-sends-ipods-to-senators/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/12/ipac-sends-ipods-to-senators/Apr 13th 2006 11:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/12/ipac-sends-ipods-to-senators/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/12/ipac-sends-ipods-to-senators/Would that be regarded as an attempt at 'bribery' or 'influence'. Here in the UK our Prime Minister who many, if not most, Americans favour (most of us in the UK actually dislike him and his government - for reasons why, examine our new tax laws, particularly on taxing inheritance). Blair is currently under investigation (by the police)in the peerages for cash scandal. The US is WAY behind us in the 'influence' (polite expression) stakes. You should invent a US version of knighthoods and peerages; much cash can be raised this way. Come on you're lagging in the bribery business! You really could do better! ]]>Apr 16th 2006 8:06AM
