I find it annoying that Curt Weldon has so obviously lost his moral compass, if he ever had one, and is now openly and brazenly handing out lucrative jobs and contracts to family and friends. It is inconceivable that his position on the Armed Services committee is beneficial enough to this district to overcome his lack of connection to the issues that are important to us.
Give up already, Curt, on the search for WMDs. Even George Bush, who staked our country's billions and over two thousand American lives has given up on them.
This man wants to be a lobbyist. Let's help make his dream come true.

You say that Weldon "is now openly and brazenly handing out lucrative jobs and contracts to family and friends."
You gotta provide some details to back that one up! Where's the proof?
I think she was talking about stuff like this and this.
I agree sources were needed. But don't assume she was making things up!
Here is a source:

Some highlights:
After a Russian aerospace manufacturer hired Karen Weldon's firm for $20,000 a month plus 10% of any new business it generated, Rep. Weldon pitched the company's saucer-shaped drone to the U.S. Navy, which signed a letter of intent to invest in the technology. And Weldon, who chairs a subcommittee that oversees $60 billion in military acquisitions, has been working to get funding for the project, Navy officials say.
and
The congressman helped round up 30 congressional colleagues for a dinner at the Library of Congress to honor the chairman of a Russian natural gas company, Itera International Energy Corp., that had just agreed to pay his daughter's firm $500,000 a year to "create good public relations."
and
Karen Weldon's firm paid for her father's chief of staff to take a "fact-finding" trip to Serbia, where he met with U.S. Embassy officials about the Karics' visa problems. The congressman approved the arrangement, travel records show. House ethics rules bar members or staff from taking official trips paid for by lobbyists or registered agents of foreign companies.
