22. What does the age of the event have to do with anything?

It isn't as though a culture of corruption has an expiration date. It doesn't just dry up and blow away. The culture of corruption is pervasive.

However, if the newness of a conviction or allegation impresses you, let's add Charlie Rangel, who was censured in December of 2010 on a host of ethics violations. When the Democrats had control of the house, by the way.


CREW publishes a list of the most corrupt every year, and Republicans and Democrats consistently make the list.

Big money donors influence politicians. Big money donors give to Republicans and they give to Democrats.

The saddest part of those who share your delusion (really? "almost every repub"?) is that it prevents us from making real and meaningful progress in fixing the system that feeds the corruption.
