There is no arguing that corruption knows no party distinction.

But, when its all said and done, I believe the recent Repub Congress with the likes of Delay, Cunningham, Ney, Doolittle, Burns, et al, will surpass Koreagate (where only one member of Congress was indicted for shading dealings with Sun Young Moon of Washington Times fame), the Keating five S&L scandal (no indictments and John McCain, one of the five, continues on) and even Abscam (the worst bribery scandal in Congressional history, although because of FBI "entrapment", there were few convictions).

Ten years of power absolutely corrupted the Republicans so blatantly and pervasively that their K street project, with a goal of creating a permanent Repub majority through connections to Abramoff and other lobbyists, was their publicly and shamelessly touted pride and joy.

Fortunately, too many were caught with their hands in the cookie jar.
