A “Lesson” in Journalism: Check the Scandalized Lawmaker’s Web Site and Mine for Gems

Web site, Pergram found a feature called “Ask Eric Anything” – a link that amazingly allows a viewer to pose questions to the embroiled lawmaker. Pergram’s hoping to score answers, but he’s not holding his breath considering the lawmaker is officially resigned from Congress and the site will be taken down.
