I'm not going to google a list for you, but simply observe that corruption is a trait of politicians across the spectrum. We do the Democratic party harm by pretending otherwise. Quality control is just as important for a party as it is for a car maker. I am proud of the Democratic party's commitment to being the better brand.

Perry is easy pickings using low-risk, high provability incidents, so why not use better stuff? This attempt is not one of those. From a political pov, it's embarrassingly amateur. The douchebag has already proven his talent for self destruction if you don't get in his way.
