Democratic U.S. Senator from Louisiana, Mary Landrieu, pictured at right along with her fellow traveler, Ted "dunk em and leave em" Kennedy, had her hand caught in the cookie jar.
Seems that Mary "steered $2 million in federal funding to a campaign contributor for a reading program in District of Columbia schools", even though the school district "had picked a different reading curriculum." (See: "Landrieu assists fundraiser"). "The Washington Post reported last week that in 2001, Landrieu directed the money for the Voyager Expanded Learning literacy program for kindergartners and first-graders... Voyager’s political action committee, executives, employees, their relatives and lobbyists have contributed $80,000 to Landrieu, according to campaign finance reports". id.
