Not only does Michigan Rep. John Conyers have impeachment articles ready to go against Pres. Bush should the Democrats gain control of the House this November, but he and buddy New York Rep. Chuck Rangel now want to use the IRS as a political tool to threaten anti-affirmative action spokesman Ward Connerly:
Two Democratic congressmen have asked the IRS to investigate whether affirmative action foe Ward Connerly's pay violates federal tax laws on excessive compensation.Connerly receives more than $1 million a year from two Sacramento-based nonprofit groups he heads — the American Civil Rights Institute and the American Civil Rights Coalition.
"This compensation package ... raises more than a red flag," said Rep. John Conyers Jr. of Michigan. "IRS rules could not be clearer that a nonprofit's purpose is not to pad the pockets of its executives."
As John Rosenberg notes, does anyone know what those other perpetual jobless-tax-exempt-salary-making moguls Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton make per year? And gee -- don't Conyers and Rangel care?? Of course not. Those two are big affirmative action supporters, natch!!
I look forward to the impeachment articles. I agree with you on the second part, though.
