Washington Needs a Good Scandal to Expose the Corruption

The Abramoff scandal in Washington has many politicians shaking in fear as to what's going to happen to them for their participation in the graft.

GOOD!

Lobbyists already have too much power in Washington and many Representatives and Senators and other officials are much too cozy with them for comfort.

There's no doubt that both political parties have their fingerprints all over dirty money, so one party has no leverage over the other. Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi shouldn't be crowing too loudly; read here and here as to why.

So let the chips fall where they may; those who have done wrong should be shown the door. This is what happens when people stay in office too long.
