Blaming it on "Culture of Washington"

[radfringe]

This is a snippet from CNN: Situation room (10/5/06)
JC Watts tries to spin the Foley scandal and all the corruption scandals:

WATTS: You know, Wolf, I think there's a deeper question here, Wolf. What is it about the culture of Congress that we would have about five or six members over the last year, Republican and Democrat, member on Appropriations sending money back home to, you know -- for self-interest, a leader in the Republican leadership having to resign because of this network of deceit -- deceit -- and trying to gain power, and, you know, two members just in the last three weeks resign. They're checking into alcoholics -- a rehabilitation facility.

What is in the culture of Washington that would -- that we would find these kind of things? And I think there's a much deeper question here than this Mark Foley thing, as bad as it is.

isn't this reason enough to make some big changes on Nov. 7? Toss the bums out?

2. But without the flame there would be no fire

Remember Power Corrupts and Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely.
