This blog and other publications (notably the usually conservative Chicago Tribune editorials page) have noted the tendency for Jim Oberweis to cheat, break the rules, and lie (and lie and lie and … you get the idea). Oh, and we ‘little people’ have also noticed that the smug Mr. Oberweis acts like a kid in junior high.

With all that baggage on his shoulders, I guess it’s none too surprising that Congressional Republicans would willingly violate ethics rules in order help Mr. Oberweis join their ranks. The National Republican Congressional Committee itself is in the midst of a forensic audit and contacted the FBI due to “financial irregularites” involving forged spreadsheets and cooked books (kind of like the blocks of $100 bills that “fell off” the back of Halliburton’s trucks in Iraq, all paid for with our tax dollars at work).

Apparently elephants of a feather flock together.
