Corruption in politics
Josh Marshall at Talking Points Memo should be required daily reading for anyone interested in the undercurrents of US Beltway politics. Taking an example from yesterday is this excellent piece on the unravelling (and intimately entwined) DeLay and Ambramoff scandals, which are threatening to send a good portion of the US Republican caucus down for prison time.
Of interest is how well this particular article would fit in with the Fianna Fáil party as it existed in the '80s and very early '90s; just switch the names to certain Irish counterparts (please, no-one be so foolish as to name names).
Btw, congratulations to Irish Corruption, which is still going strong in spite of being a threat to the State.
