The Year In Scandal

It was an historic moment in the nation's history - a year when old barriers fell.

It was a year when one word filled the air - change.

It was a year Democrats came to believe in the audacity of hope.

Or maybe just plain audacity.

One governor was caught with his pants (but not his socks) off, hooking up with an aspiring singer who preferred cash payments and called customers by their numbers. Another was discovered trying to sell a Senate seat in language not allowed on HBO mob shows (and anyway, viewers would have dismissed the plot as too preposterous).

In a year when Republicans were out-spent and out-voted in the election, they were also out-corrupted at every turn. Sure, some valiantly tried to keep the GOP end up - Ted Stevens, former senator from Alaska, insisted the chair given to him as a gift wasn't really his, even if it was sitting in his living room. And Vito Fossella went for that old chestnut, the second family on the side. READ FULL ARTICLE

Some will argue that all politics corrupts all politicians. Maybe so. But this year's avalanche of distractions came primarily from the left side of the aisle. The amount, the breadth and the ridiculousness of the scandals is depressing, all the more so because this is the party to which America just handed all the seats of power.

And the sheeple bleat with glee. It doesn't help when half the population was ignorant enough to believe that the Republicans have been controlling Congress for the last 2 years. We are a nation of morons.
