I didn't see it this morning because I don't watch morning tv but evidently on the NBC Today Show they had a segment on the outrageous fact that in the middle of this bank bailout, politicians are still accepting Political Action Committee contributions from those very same banks.
NBC's Washington Correspondent Chuck Todd says that 36 of the legislators from both sides of the aisle have accepted money from Bank of America, BANCORP, and a host of others, including American Express.
Several of the lawmakers, including Senate President Harry Reid, say they returned the money uncashed. Notable among those who say they did not accept any money was Rep. Barney Franks.
