Something seems fishy with King. He is too over-the-top in his defense of TSA.

He would seemingly endorse any action taken by TSA no matter how heinous.

Reminds me of past incidents where some "family values" politician/preacher/etc. touts these virtues and then gets caught in a sex scandal.

There needs to be a criminal investigation of this thug before he inflicts more damage on the public through his role as chair of the Homeland Security Committee.

fishy? Yes. He is guilty of material support of terrorism and must be held accountable by any means necessary to rid the world of his ilk.

It just makes me wonder how much personal money he has tied up in companies like L3 and Rapiscan.

are any of you folks in his district? what defense contractors are located there. there is only one reason for his position on this. follow the money.

Hard to tell. My guess is that he is burying money or investments in a child's account or offshore.

The Transportation Union contribution of $61K probably explains the TSA unionization approval. This alone should warrant an investigation.

The Goldman-Sachs campaign money also looks pretty suspicious considering his role in Financial Services oversight.

There is also a General Dynamics tie, but no indication how this fits.

No way his net worth is this low and he lives this life style. Aren't there any investigative journalists anymore?

King's Expenditures in 2010
 

There are four pages of expenditures. Some of them are very interesting.

Peter King is a modern-day Joseph McCarthy.

Has he no shame?

Depsite the fact I am a Staunch Republican I can't stand Peter King that guy needs to get a life.

It's too bad Congressclown King can't focus on the failed DHS/TSA over which he has formal responsibilities. Then again, this is a natural outcome for a person trying to out-Schumer camera-obsessed Senator Schumer.

Jeez! You're giving him WAY too much credit. He's not nearly as smart as Joe. This coming from a gay artist!

Cheers!

There are some very questionable entries in this list:
- internet
- many many dinner and catering entries
- personal AMEX bills
- art purchases/framing
- charitable donations
- campaign donations
- taxes
- golf
- misc donations
- reimbursement of campaign donations

Exactly what I was going to suggest.
