Their report says Coelho

and his staff also misused $210,000 in donated airline

tickets, hired two stepsons of the U.S. ambassador to

Portugal and had the government reimburse $26,000 in

questionable expenses to a consultant who worked in

Coelho's New York City office.

Coelho's rental of a

chauffeur-driven Mercedes "was especially

troublesome" because the cost exceeded a $500

ceiling while a fleet of six vans for the pavilion were

under-used. How typical it is of Clinton-Gore

Administration ethics that Coelho should not only be

resurrected for a job requiring expenditure of taxpayer

dollars, but would be defended by Al Gore and retained as

his campaign chief.

Visualize Coelho as

Secretary of the Treasury in a Gore Administration! Are

we ready for four more years of the Clinton-Gore decade

of deceit? Would the cast of characters in a Bradley

Administration be that different?
