Tweety claims Culture of Corruption is non-partisan. The whoring continues

Now Tony Blankley is trying to spin this. Let's see how ling this can last when the Abramoff, Delay, etc., etc. cases come down.

1. The culture of corruption IS non partisan

...But only a couple Democratic congressmen been"under suspicion" for similar money crimes and almost every Republican Leader has full flegded Federal investigations on them. You'll bet it's non partisan alright, but recently it's been leaning strongly to the right.

4. Of course. I am talking about at this moment. Corruption is relative.

If you make a list of all of the politicians either under investigation, indicted, or having already plead guilty, you will have a vastly lopsided scale. There is no debating that.

If you want to get technical about how corrupt the government is in general, we all may as well just start from scratch.

I don't think it is non-partisan is you got a dozen Republicans under suspicion compared to 2 or 3 Democrats that are weakly under suspicion, at best.

5. Like 2 or 3, not even very influencial Democrats... n/t

2. A quick google will tell you he's correct

Ever heard of Dan Rostenkowski? He's an example

8. How about someone in this century?

3. I believe RFK Jr said Repubs are 99% corrupt whereas Dems are only 95%

or something to that effect.

Basically, while most politicians ARE corrupt, ALL Repubs are corrupt.

6. OK, Tweety, prove it!

here's the game: we name (with the person's real name) a republican who is either under indictment or is being investigated for corruption. You - Tweets - then get to name BY NAME a Democrat who is in a similar situation. We'll continue in this way for about an hour and then add up the columns and see just how even it all is.

Works for me.

7. And yet when Clinton had a girlfriend you'd think he was the only one

according to Tweety.


Tweety can't STAND that all the corruption is coming from the Republicans. He needs to wake up and smell the facts for a change - the GOP has taken corruption to heights only known by the likes of Saddam, Noriega, Pinochet, Menem, and all their other close buddies.
