The power corrupts comments earlier hit it right on. We throw 535 human
beings into the candy store, tell 'em the owner is blind, and watch. His
corruption is on the grandest scale yet discovered, but how many of them
have been influenced by lesser things? The whole K-street Congress axis is
a detriment to our well-being, and we've got the budget to prove it. The
SOB's have discovered they can bribe us with our own money.

I guess you're right. He's really a victim of society. He should not go to
jail. We should just let him go and live on his Navy and congressional
pensions.

After all, it's not like American lives depended on the defense contracts
that he granted through bribery.
