A new level of scummy (and no, it's not Bush)

They were doing a report on Good Morning America today about people passing themselves off as hurricane survivors so they could get handouts. I didn't catch the end of the report, but I bet it'll end up being a 20/20 segment. Anyway, not only does this take away from the real survivors, it aspires to a level of pure scum that's so far beyond the pale it aspires almost to genius.

I'm sure you've heard about the Louis Vuitton handbags and the Houston strip clubs.

There will always be people willing to exploit what insurers delicately label a "moral hazard."
