As originally conceived by Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her slimy pals on the loony left, the Culture of Corruption (COC) was to be the least democratic, least diverse, and least honorable society in all of Washington, D.C.
She envisioned that the COC would be the exclusive domain of Caucasian Republican men. Devout Christians especially welcome.
That would be scalawags like Tom Delay, Duke Cunningham, Jack Abramoff, Scooter Libby, and hundreds more to be named as needed in advance of unspecified future elections.
While Pelosi was building her case for the COC as a Republican-only institution, her cohorts in the Democrat Party started misbehaving by slugging Capitol police (Cynthia McKenzie), driving while looped and loaded (Patrick Kennedy), and accepting bribes on video (William J. Jefferson).
However, in a development sure to rock Pelosi's leaky boat and run her mascara, Charles Rangel (D-NY), head of the House tax-writing committee, has assured that senior, African-American, Democrat crooks are also seated at the Pelosi COC.
Rangel, the man who put together the Mother of All Tax Bills, a one trillion dollar monster, loves taxes. Provided said taxes are paid by others that is.
However, Rangel is down right Republican when it comes to paying his own tax bill.
Unfortunately, Speaker Pelosi stopped promoting the COC at about the same time that Cynthia McKenzie, Patrick Kennedy, and William J. Jefferson started making headlines.
Still, knowing Pelosi's interest in transparency and open communication, we can expect the Speaker to welcome Rangel to the COC, eventually.
Before the portly tax evader is whisked off to prison, right Madam Speaker?
John W. Lillpop is a recovering liberal. “Clean and sober” since 1992 when last he voted for a Democrat. For years, John lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, the very liberal sanctuary city which protects, rather than prosecutes, certain favored criminals. John escaped the Bay Area in May and now lives in Pine Grove California where conservative values are still in vogue.
