Corruption is a strong term to use in this case, and trying to pin it on Clinton is the ridiculous part. Did Leavitt take money from someone to change policy? Not so far as we knopw. Did anyone at the SEC? Don't know yet. The evidence in this case begs the question: What other companies or industries, through the deliberate efforts of lobbyists, get exemptions from laws that were originally passed with the intent to protect us from abuse? Calling one situation corrupt would imply that it's all corrupt. But this is how business gets done in DC. And in this case it looks like a big mistake. But don't tell me it's a democrat thingy or just a republican thingy. After all, Bush's new SEC chairman is a former lobbyist for the big accounting firms. How hard do you think he's gonna crack down?
