What a Schock

Post by Tunnelcat »

Aaron Schock, the young freshman Republican Representative from Illinois and Instagram hunkster with those six pack abs and the extensive travel itinerary to go with them, decides to resign, all while being scrutinized for the misuse taxpayer dollars. It wasn't over his lavish Downton Abbey office makeover, which the taxpayers footed for at first but then got back after complaints, but instead it was what he charged the government for auto travel on his personal vehicle. He claimed 170,000 miles for congressional business use on his personal vehicle. What got him was that when he traded in that vehicle, it only had 80,000 miles on the odometer. Chicago Sun Times reporters and the government accountability office found out about those extra miles because the SUV was no longer in Schock's possession. He should've kept the car. :P
