A Blast From The Past CORRUPTION Bush style (Only five years ago)

Trickle Down Corruption As Far As the Eye Can See

The corrupt cronyism of the Republican Party is utter and complete, encompassing the Executive Branch and both branches of Congress.

Now, you might read that and think, oh, that’s just a bit excessive, I’m sure that there are good people in the Republican party. Even if I disagree with their methodology, they are trying their best.

This time it’s different. This time it’s far worse than anything we’ve seen in quite a while. You judge people in life on the company they keep — who people choose to associate with tells you a lot about them. In politics, judge people on the leaders that they choose to follow — the example set by political leadership sets a tone and an agenda.

So let’s summarize where we are today. In the Executive branch, Karl Rove is STILL in charge. In any other White House (other than Nixon), Karl Rove would have been long fired for his ties to the Plame investigation where he sacrificed national security at a time of war because his petulant side needed to be fed. This is the man that the President wants his administration follow? What Bush tells the rest of the administration and the public as a whole by keeping Rove in charge is really simple: the rules don’t apply to me.
