This week, the FBI raided the medical office of West Palm Beach eye doctor, Salomon Melgen. Melgen’s lawyer says the FBI hasn’t told them why, but IRS records show Melgen owes $11.1 million in 2006 taxes. A previous IRS lien for $6.2 million was released in 2011. And I thought paying taxes was supposed to be patriotic and, you know, charitable.
Melgen is a major contributor to New Jersey Democratic Senator Robert Menendez. Last fall, the Daily Caller reported that Menendez had accepted free rides on Melgen’s private jet to visit Melgen’s palatial estate in the Dominican Republic, where Melgen allegedly provided the Senator with underage Dominican prostitutes. (Word on the street is Menendez likes ’em young.)
Menendez’s office says this is all a “politically motivated right-wing blog” lie. Funny thing though, how shortly after the Daily Caller broke their story, Menendez SUDDENLY paid Melgen $58,000 for those plane trips. When asked why it took three YEARS for them to remember to properly pay for these trips, his Chief of Staff just said OOPS. It was merely “an oversight.” Amazing how often those silly things happen, isn’t it?
Speaking of silly things … guess who the Democrats promoted to be the new chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee?
Senator Robert Menendez.
Promoting someone who has pending allegations of using child prostitutes and taking undeclared campaign contributions from a tax scofflaw?
SOP for today’s Democratic Party.

This guy makes your skin crawl just watching him talk. They don’t get much sleazier than this. I’m still waiting for the Capitol Building to be struck by lightning.
