Considering the corruption-fest we witnessed the past eight years, with a
string of (mostly Republican) federal lawmakers under indictment or in
prison, it's hilarious that you'd act as if corruption is something that
just now came to Washington. I think all dirty lawmakers and their cronies
be locked up, Democrat or Republican makes no difference to me. Did you
express disgust when Abramoff and Cunningham and Stevens were getting busted
for bribery and influence-peddling and tax evasion? But now you're suddenly
outraged over these other guys not paying all their taxes. When you're
outraged over *every* federal politician who cheats or scams the public then
you'll be on solid moral ground. But so long as you care only when it's a
Dem who got caught, then you're still just a hypocrite.
