Dianne Feinstein is worse than I thought…

While reading an article listing the 25 companies who have been the most vicious war profiteers (which is really worth reading – click the link to read it), I found some really interesting information. Honestly, I’m disappointed that I didn’t know this before, but here you go:

Perini (controlled by financier Richard Blum) is one of the more controversial companies to have scored big-time Iraq war money. That’s because Blum’s wife, Senator Dianne Feinstein, appears to have used her seat on the Military Construction Appropriations subcomittee to steer the $650 million environmental cleanup deal in his favor.

How did I not know this? Did I know this, and just put it out of my mind because it is SO disgusting? This is crazy though. I’m calling her office today and finding out what exactly in the hell is going on. Knowing this definitely explains why she’s one of the worst neocons out there. At least that makes sense.
