FIRST IT WAS MURTHA, NOW OBAMA SNUBS VISCLOSKY:

President Obama plans to cap his cap-and-gown commencement address at the University of Notre Dame later this month with an Indianapolis fundraising event for four Indiana House Democrats, according to the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette’s Sylvia Smith. . . .

Notably absent from the guest list for the fundraiser is the state’s only other Democratic House member, Peter J. Visclosky. On Thursday, a set of Washington watchdog groups called for a House ethics investigation into the relationships between several lawmakers, including Visclosky, and a now-defunct lobbying firm that contributed heavily to the House members and won their backing for clients’ earmarks.

I wonder if Obama knows something. Are indictments in the works?
