(An msnbc report last year found that of more than 100 journalists who made political donations, the vast majority gave to the Dems.)

Van Buitenen, whose whistle-blowing in 1999 helped bring down the entire European Commission, says the Parliament's top brass knew about the fraud for years but decided not to take any action to tighten the rules. "But so far, the Parliament has not been prepared to come forward with concrete proposals to improve the current system," he says.
