Jaz, that's not the point. All politicians get dirty - it's the nature of the beast. The issue, for me especially, is that what made America great is we actually had a proffessional cadre of civil servant middle managers - from NASA, to FEMA, to the EPA, FDA, straight through to the military.Bush has decimated this professional class by going for the societ/corpoprate type power appointees that have nothing to do with merit.
The US got great on the backs of caring, professional middle management in government. Corrupt politicians come and go, it's the guys that actyually make things work that matter.
If the mayor is corrupt is one thing, but if you can bribe the traffic cop out of a ticket that's another. That's what seperated the US from Mexico, Eastern Europe, Asia and any other place where corruption was rampant.
Bush and his cronies has blown that apart.
