Hypocrisy, and our Culture of Corruption
"Today some Republicans pat themselves on the back for their
“courageous” stand against liberal charges of hypocrisy as they were
early in their denunciation of Craig. Now, these would be the same
liberals who show routinely their hypocrisy embracing Bill Clinton
(accused of rape), Barney Frank (accused of allowing his home to be
used for male prostitution), and the late Gerry Studds (who had sex
repeatedly with a seventeen-year-old page). These Republicans fear the
“culture of corruption” label the liberals have assigned them and
aren’t quite sure how to respond to it. Mostly, they refuse to fire
back by highlighting the numerous examples of demonstrable sleaze
involving William Jefferson (alleged bribe), Alan Mollohan (alleged
self-dealing), John Murtha (earmarks related to his brother), Dianne
Feinstein (her husband profiting from military contracts), Hillary
Clinton (Norman Hsu, et al), and, of course, the aforementioned
Clinton, Frank, and Studds examples.
"There is indeed a culture
of corruption, and it extends well beyond any single politician. It
swirls around big government. It always has and it always will. It has
become institutionalized in many ways. And that culture of corruption
celebrates clever word games used by unelected judges to exercise power
they don’t have as they rewrite the Constitution; it demeans people of
faith who speak out against the culture of corruption and for — dare I
say — family values; it undermines and seeks to demoralize Americans in
uniform as they fight a horrible enemy on the battlefield; it demonizes
entrepreneurs and successful enterprises; it uses race, age, religion,
gender, and whatever works to balkanize Americans; and so on. This is
the real culture of corruption. Let’s call it what it is — modern
liberalism. And its impact on our society is far worse than the
disorderly-conduct misdemeanor to which Larry Craig pled guilty and for
which he has now resigned."



Mark ticked off a few examples of Democrat corruption but the srange and curious relationship between the Clintons and Peter F. Paul has been largely ignored by the MSM.
