Russia runs on corruption and vodka.

My fear is that this will lead to Vlad removing his short again.

Obama is so totally evil and snakey.

He has abused the powers of his office in many creative and novel ways.

He has filled our government with the most loathsome Marxist, anarchistic scum!

It will take generations to root them out (if we ever even get a chance to start on the pest eradication effort).

Russia runs on corruption and vodka.

And oil.

But Vlad got a Formula 1 race and the Olympics based on bribery, you can bet on that. Vlad's point is we didn't indict the IOC and FIA because we weren't sore losers for those two events. This is 0bama's DOJ doing the prosecution, after all. It's one corrupt kleptocrat snarking at another.

Corruption seems to be just part of the game in international sports.

I guess Putin is afraid that we’ll find he paid big bucks to bribe FIFA.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Mr. Puty is correct but who cares?

In Russia, they are contemplating using prisoners to build stadiums, in a way that’s not a bad idea really, prisoners could get some money but it sounds bad and I’m not sure the quality would come through.

Anyway, they found enough FIFA corruption in the Western Hemisphere, I know some of these officials are out in the Americas if not most of them.

Chile, Costa Rica, Copa de las Americas and the money that exchanged hands is a lot.

If Americans means North, Central and South America, yes, you are right. They found out a lot of this in the Western Hemisphere.

Everything you wrote is true. But, what does it have to do with this story?

and it makes the Clinton Foundation look even sleazier than ever.

Wonder how long it's going to take to get all their corruption out in the open.
