O'Donnell: "Kick back in sunny Panama!"
From The Denver Post:
Republican congressional candidate Rick O'Donnell, who has blasted politicians who accept perks, took an expenses-paid trip to Panama with his girlfriend arranged by a TV station doing business with a state agency he headed. O'Donnell took the trip three weeks before he resigned as the head of the Colorado Commission on Higher Education to campaign for Congress full time.
There's nothing technically illegal about O'Donnell's Panama junket. But when you add it to the O'Donnell/Johnson scandal and the O'Donnell/Bushell scandal and the O'Donnell/W. lovefest, a pattern starts to emerge. O'Donnell is looking more and more like just another political opportunist. And less and less like the sort of moderate, ethical representative that CD7 deserves.
UPDATE: Progress Now Action has more.
