TALLAHASSEE - Call it a case of influence peddling so blatant it would make Tom Feeney blush. A Miami Herald report today delves into the shady business going down between U.S. Reps.

Hanger Orthopedic Group has showered the Diaz-Balart brothers with thousands in campaign contributions while it lobbies Congress to pass a federal bill it would profit from. The brothers are two of the key sponsors of the bill. Aside from the ethical questions involved with the two Congressmen shepherding the legislation mere days after accepting donations, the relationship makes further obvious the astounding hypocrisy of the Diaz-Balarts.
