We need someone like Xi Jinping.

There should be zero tolerance for corruption.

Both the flies and the tigers should go straight to prison.

If you’re in public office for personal enrichment or to benefit your friends, you don’t deserve to belong there.

The Chinese are doing it. Its about time we went after political graft, too.

...“Money often seems to be at the core of the problem.”

No, it isn’t. The problem goes far deeper than that.

Its about ethics.

Politicians should demand higher standards from themselves and abide by them.

Which has nothing to do with party but rather with right and wrong.

“Its about ethics.”

A large part, to be sure.

How strange. The word ‘Democrat’ didn’t appear in the article at all

It does. What’s posted is heavily “excerpted”.

Actually, you’re right, it does not appear, although Sheldon Silver is a democrat as is the bozo we now call “Mayor”.

Voters should demand higher standards of their politicians... As you just did.

Yep, noticed that. But it is the Post, which is not the Daily News or the Times.

Still... And I do wonder why, as someone else asked, he's not going after Sharpton.
