Thanks for the clarification on your use of "Statesman".

As for the mildness, if I misinterpreted, I am sorry. It sounded to me like a mounting indictment put in a sardonic form. It sounds like you are sure they are indifferent to the interests of the country at large, and shameless in their conflict of interest (which is the only context in which bribery came up). In this quoted section, it sounds as if you are ignoring the fact that they do have to answer to Congress and the public in explaining themselves, they are not off the hook. But again, it is certainly possible that I misinterpreted the tone, and, in doing so, the substance. If so, I am sorry.......
