In short, I guess it is not news to many of us that there is a lot of corruption in national politics. It is probably the norm.

As I travel the world I read the local papers, and the stories don't really change... just the players. It's not Bush, it's the local leader, it's not Scalia, it's the local equivalent.
As I've been reading about the family history I've been reading some of the side newsprints saved by family members. Corruption with politicians is nothing new, even Julius Ceaser recognized that.
