He was using municipal equipment to troll for dates and offering municipal jobs in return for whatever.

Let's also add Scalia, Tauzin, Abramoff, Cunningham, Scanlon, Safavian, DeLay and perhaps another 60 Congresspeople and their staffers possibly being fingered by Scanlon.

Democrats are corrupt as well but there is nothing to compare to the corruption of Republicans. It is huge, it is widespread and it is arrogant. Rumsfeld also has something profitable should the avian flu come to pass. It really is too bad that during a period of very high energy prices the Chevron oil tanker Condoleeza Rice is now floating around under a different name.

Doesn't Republican corruption just make you furious? They've just passed an extension of tax-breaks-for-nonworking income again which pretty much goes hand in hand with the reduction in programs for THOSE WHO REALLY NEED IT.
