You Have to Help Your Family

But some help their families more than others do. For example, take our senators. 87 of them - that's 87 out of 100 - gave money from their campaign or political action committee to a family member. Some payments were not chicken feed: Bunning paid his daughter $138,933.37, Boxer paid her son's company $320,000, Enzi paid his daughter-in-law's company $306,251.58, Shelby paid himself $188,890.80, Hutchison paid herself $170,468.07.

None of this is illegal but is it right? The Committee for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington thinks it is not.
