Good strip Rob, but the caption is terrible. It should read something along the lines of:

Regardless of the technical issue of taking the tax credit or not, it's common knowledge that Lautenberg has been in NYC for a while. I think it will be a big issue in the debates that no one will hear or watch!

My Lord


I love the notion that Frank Lautenberg lives in NYC! It's absolutely ridiculous and only fostered by people who know nothing like Walton and Dino. Like Rob Andrews, you have nothing to challenge Frank Lautenberg on so you go to this crap. It's sophmoric and foolish and you all know it. Instead you would prefer to vote for a guy who's been put up by a unethical political machine that's done nothing to help the people of camden and only given themselves more selfish power. Yeah, let's pick on Frank Lautenberg visiting NYC once in a while while Rob Andrews runs amock spending your tax dollars on personal ventures:

in U.S. Senate race ask why Andrews
funnels taxpayer money to wife’s workplace

BARRINGTON – The Philadelphia Inquirer today further exposed the unethical earmarks arranged by Rob Andrews to fund his wife’s employer.

According to The Inquirer, Andrews funneled $2 million in taxpayer dollars to the law school at Rutgers University-Camden, where his wife, Camille Andrews, worked.

Dale Glading, candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in New Jersey’s 1st District, called Andrews’ earmarks “borderline unethical” and added that “from my perspective and those who share my concerns, Rob might as well have taken $600,000 in small bills, wrapped them in a brown paper bag, and put them on Camille's desk.” (“Andrews defends earmarks for wife's school”, The Philadelphia Inquirer, May 14, 2008)

Glading added, “If you’re going to bring back money to Camden . . . there are a whole lot better ways to spend it than on tuition scholarships to law students.” (“Andrews defends earmarks for wife's school”, The Philadelphia Inquirer, May 14, 2008)

Camden is the poorest and third most dangerous city in the entire United States, and yet it is traditionally a stronghold for the Norcross political machine, despite the machine’s abject failure to improve the city.

Camille Andrews, for her part, is now serving as the placeholder candidate for her husband’s congressional seat.

Julie Roginsky, campaign spokeswoman for Senator Lautenberg, added, “It seems Congressman Andrews owes New Jersey taxpayers an explanation as to why he constantly directed taxpayer money to a program his wife controls, even when Rutgers didn't ask him to.” (“Andrews defends earmarks for wife's school”, The Philadelphia Inquirer, May 14, 2008)

Although the machine politicians arranged for his own wife to stand in as a placeholder candidate in the 1st District, Rob Andrews says he is not running for re-election to the House, even if he loses the June 3 primary against Senator Frank Lautenberg.

Andrews told The Courier-Post, “I will not serve in the Congress next term under any circumstances.” (“1st Congressional District primary a free-for-all”, The Courier-Post, May 11, 2008)

In a poll released late last month, Senator Lautenberg led Andrews by 15 points in their race for the U.S. Senate. (“Poll: Lautenberg leads Andrews in Senate race”, The Daily Journal, April 30, 2008)
