Chicago Democrat calls tax protests shameful, neglects to mention her convicted tax-cheat husband

Jan Schakowsky thinks tax protesters are despicable. Oh, did she mention that her husband plead guilty to tax fraud. Slipped her mind.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill., duh) took time out of her busy tax-and-spend schedule to denounce the Tea Party protests as “despicable” and shameful.”

In a statement, Schakowsky parroted Democratic/CNN talking points that the Tea Parties were “an effort to mislead the public about the Obama economic plan that cuts taxes for 95 percent of Americans.”

“It’s despicable that right-wing Republicans would attempt to cheapen a significant, honorable moment of American history with a shameful political stunt,” she said. “Not a single American household or business will be taxed at a higher rate this year. Made to look like a grassroots uprising, this is an Obama bashing party promoted by corporate interests, as well as Republican lobbyists and politicians.”

What her statement failed to mention was that her husband, lobbyist Robert Creamer, pled guilty to bank fraud and tax cheating in 2005. She also signed off on their tax returns.

If this is the most ethical and transparent congress in history, we can’t imagine what the most corrupt would be like.
