Democrats throughout Virginia are touting their “ethics” but I wonder if they apply their standards to themselves.
I mean, when a high-ranking government official rakes in half a million dollars worth in jewelry, what do Democrats say about the ethics of that?
Nothing.
Because it’s Hillary Clinton.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was given a half-million bucks worth of diamond and ruby jewelry by Saudi Arabian King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz and received $58,000 worth of bling from Brunei.
The lavish gifts were among a treasure trove of keepsakes bestowed upon U.S. leaders in 2012, the State Department disclosed Thursday.
Russian President Vladimir Putin gave Clinton a $560 bottle of cognac, while President Obama received an autographed basketball from Chinese President Xi Jiping and a 41-inch saber from Mongolia.
Meanwhile, Vice President Joe Biden got a bare-breasted female bust from Liberia.
So, the VP and Secretary of State can rake in the gifts and the Democrats are silent as churchmice (as if they’ve know churchmice).
But they’ll spend all fall whining about ethics reform.
