Politics Drugs. Money. And Lies.

onAs she did last year, Senator Cheryl “Drug Money” Pflug (R-5, Maple Valley) spoke out against a bill that would require drug companies to disclose gifts to health-care providers.
Despite her advocacy for the drug companies—she argued incorrectly that the bill held drug companies and health-care providers to a different standard than legislators, who she absurdly claimed don’t have to disclose gifts—the bill passed out of the health care committee today, 5-4.
The bill died in the senate rules committee last year.

The name Pflug kinda says it all, doesn't it?
"she absurdly claimed don’t have to disclose gifts"
Hahahaha woops!
Why won't leadership let it out of rules?
monkey@1: Huh? "Pflug" means "Plow" in my second language. Are you saying you are hankering to plow this fine public servant? Try Lovelab, or Lustlab. They need your money.
Unlike the claim in the previous post, the bill exempts the first $100 every year of drugmaker tchotchkes like pens, mugs, and pads of paper. Which makes it entirely reasonable, in my opinion; advertising giveaways shouldn't be able to sway anyone smart enough to get a college degree.
