House Minority Leader John Boehner, Georgia Senator Saxby Chambliss, North Carolina Senator Richard Burr and Iowa Congressman Tom Latham were seen by ABC News at the famed Greenbrier resort in West Virginia for a July golf outing paid for by a PAC. Dubbed "Americans for a Conservative Course," the event raised money for the lawmakers' 'leadership PACs' - funds that are separate from politicians' campaign committees. Campaign finance watchdogs say that politicians use the PACs as "political slush funds" - financing political ambitions and sometimes a lifestyle that is often otherwise beyond their means.
