Stupid blast from the past - Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) admits he does not do his job.

We (try to) elect congressmen and senators who we believe will represent our best interests and the best interests of the country. Unfortunately some of them are really just in it for the power, prestige and perks that come with holding a high government office.

What we have here is an elected official pretty much admitting that he is not doing his job. And on top of that, it was a election year, even after admitting that he wasn't doing the job he was elected to do, he still managed to get re-elected! This is stupidity on a statewide level. Michigan, this one is on you.

Apparently, this is not a one time thing for Rep Conyers.

 
So what is going on with Rep. Conyers? Will he just sign anything his party leaders send his way? Is he just there to toe the line and collect a paycheck?
