I find this story so sad, on so many levels. When I was a kid, I used to love to read about fighter aces, and I looked up to them as heroes. I’m saddened by the fact that this man, who (I thought) stood for honor and courage, sold himself out for a fucking Rolls Royce, a house, and some antiques.
I read the article, I don’t understand why a congressman would do something as stupid as sell a house at an inflated price. All real estate transactions are public record. Anybody who knew the value of houses in his neighbhorhood would immediately smell a rat.
