Debbie Schlussel: Pimp John Conyers' Ride: Won't Pay $18K from Son's Car Accident, But Leases $1K/Month Car
He's made a 40-plus year career of whining about "justice" and he now chairs the House Judiciary Committee. But when it comes to doing what is right and just, far-left Democratic Congressman John Conyers is all talk. . . and a big phony.
Check out Detroit Reporter Steve Wilson's video and print report on how John Conyers' 16-year-old son caused over $18,000 worth of damage, but Conyers won't pay, despite his promises to do so (and his ability to--he is quite wealthy).
The wealthy Conyers' constantly play the politics of envy against "wealthy Republicans" and "wealthy corporations," but their son harmed two working-class women and caused them thousands of dollars worth of damage. And--surprise!surprise!--the Conyers don't seem too comfortable when the shoe is on the other foot.
FYI, in the video, Monica Conyers mentions she went to law school. As you'll recall, Conyers used his Congressional staff to serve as nanny, butler, cook, and chauffeur at the Conyers' Detroit home--courtesy of American taxpayers--while Mrs. Conyers went to law school in Oklahoma.
Also, while one of the women now has a car she cannot use, while she must continue to pay four years on the lease, John Conyers doesn't have such problems. He's riding in style, courtesy of American taxpayers. Check this out from "Pimp Conyers' Ride" story from today's Detroit Newsistan:
Rep. John Conyers, D-Detroit, started leasing a Lincoln LS for $997 a month in February 2006. The Lincoln "is in D.C. and is used for official purposes," his office said.
John Conyers, the lefty hypocrite, on the taxpayers' dime.
Don't forget: this is the same cretin who wanted the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel named after him (and Wife, Monica, a Detroit City Councilwoman, pimped the idea).
Another fun fact: Bush U.S. Attorney and Federal Appeals Court nominee Stephen Murphy III a/k/a "Abu Porno" called Conyers, "one of the greatest jurists I've had the pleasure to know." Not a good sign.
