Pay To Play

I'm a bit embarrassed about my Chicago Scandal post. If Jessie Jackson Jr. broke the law, he should suffer the consequences. Part of the current problem with our dysfunctional Democracy is that all the scoundrels go unpunished. At the very least, a strong case could be made that W lied us into the Iraq war. And Dick Cheney is so tainted with the stink of Halliburton, it would make Pepe Le Pew blush. But of coarse the 'loyal opposition' isn't about to start throwing stones at it's mirror image. And likewise nothing at all will be made of the fact that President Bill's charitable foundation reeks of pay to play, or pay after play. What the Governor of Chicago got caught at is simply business as usual.
