Corrupt politicians, lobbyists escape voter wrath
"People who are basically corrupt are as good as traitors," Rep. Chris Shays (R-CT) tells PBS. "People think money trumps bad press. When you go to the Republican or Democratic conference, you'll hear leaders say, 'the public really doesn't care about that.' Tell that to Ralph Reed."
A depressing commentary that shows that it isn't just the obviously unethical top of the political chain that needs cleansing.
