I'll be shocked, shocked I tell you, if Jesse Jr. is #5.

NOT.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree...

How many Liberal fish have been caught in this net?

Based on the last 55 years of Illinois governors, if a Democrat is elected and serves as Illinois governor for at least one year, the odds are 100% that he or she will end up in prison.

I'm not so naive to believe that there was a golden age (recent or otherwise) in politics where there was little corruption and unfair dealing. But it seems to me that we are in an unprecedent period of not just simple political corruption, but brazen open faced political corruption. To stoke the fire a bit more, we have rouge State Legislations and courts overturning the will of the people every chance they get.

It's only a matter of time before Americans take to the streets with pitchfork, axe, and torch and march on their capitols.

I lay a lot of this mess at the feet of the elite media. They investigate the corruption only on the right, even minor dustups like Palin's troubles. If they were honest brokers and not biased they would hold the left and the right accountable. The system is broken because the Media are corrupted by their liberal bias.
