Re: 100 Hours of....Corruption

1. Pelosi doing a favor isn't necessarily the reason that American Samoa was exempted. If the cost of living in Samoa is low, it might not make sense to impose the minimum wage. I don't know what the cost of living is, but I bet its lower than the States.
2. I hate to say this, but doing favors for companies in your district is completely standard and does not mean Pelosi is corrupt. Her constituents probably want that company to be healthy for the jobs it provides.

1. And lower than every other American territory that isnt exempted? It was the only one, till she got caught. Get real.
2. Youre right it isnt, necessarily. But it is still hypocritical given the campaign rhetoric about "transparency", "bipartisanship", "eliminating earmarks", etc. It IS corrupt if she has a substantial ownership interest in the company, which one report said she did. It SMELLS and may actually be corrupt if they made substantial campaign contributions.
