"I hadn't heard about that one, but of this I am convinced."

"Corruption has been a way of life in DC for a long time, but the level of it now is really sickening."

Some of you chimp-lovers say things like this, but the Repugnicans are TOTALLY in charge! Why don't you BLAME them? If the level NOW is more sickening than it was before, it's because of the Repugnican leadership!

The corruption you seeing is just the very tip of the iceberg, since the Repugnicans don't allow any real investigations of their own corruption. It's just the corruption that happened to be noticed because it was just too damn blatant to ignore. They've institutionalized much of the corruption to where it's SOP, just the way they do business now, like the "earmarking" process on appropriation bills - which is totally controlled by the Repugnicans.
