The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

[scaeagles]

Elliot Spitzer was getting hookers.

Barney Frank admitted to paying a male prostitute.

Gov of Illinois....drawing a blank....selling Obama's senate seat.

Rostenkowski went to prison for misuse of public funds.

Torricelli was taking illegal gifts from lobbyists.

Sandy Berger was removing classified docs from the National archives.

Then there's John Edwards.

Governor of Arkansas Tucker was convicted of Fraud in the Whitewater deal.

That's just off the top of my head in about 30 seconds. With research I'm sure I could find a whole bunch more.

Please note I post these things only because of a direct inquiry from ISM. In no way am I saying that republicans do not have similar moral, legal, and/or ethical failings.
