Interesting examples of corruption. You list the Clinton Lincoln bedroom sleepover for Ken Lay as an example of conservative corruption. Wow, I thought Clinton was a liberal. You must be brighter than myself. Enron was an excellent example of political corruption. Clinton's fund raiser called Enron for a DNC donation hours after Pakistan (?) approved the Enron power plant deal. When Enron asked GW bush for favors, he sent them packing. Corruption, yes Clinton was very guilty.

The energy debacle is the best example of DEMOCRAT corruption you mentioned. Grey Davis appointed his cronies to the regulatory body. The DEMOCRAT politicians in California indebted the entire state by billions of dollars to make the whole energy crisis worse. They agreed to high priced long term contracts because they only deregulated purchase prices, not the costs to consumers. This proved that the market works. Demand increased because of artificially low prices. The increase in demand increased the cost of energy. Democrats took millions of dollars from liberal groups who wanted to ban any energy production in their state. Then when the problem caused by the liberals came home to roost, they mucked it up worse, and demogouged the energy companies for responding to market forces. No educated person can argue that supply and demand don't set prices.

Thanks for the opportunity to correct mis-understanding.
