The circle of corruption goes ’round and ’round:
In case you were tempted to buy the faux Washington outrage at BP and its gulf oil spill in recent days, here’s a story that reveals a little-known corporate political connection and the quiet way the inner political circles intersect, protect and care for one another in the nation’s capital. And Chicago…
…Shortly after Obama’s happy inaugural, eyebrows rose slightly upon word that, as a House member, Emanuel had lived the last five years rent-free in a D.C. apartment of Democratic colleague Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut and her husband, Stanley Greenberg…
…Greenberg’s consulting firm was a prime architect of BP’s recent rebranding drive as a green petroleum company, down to green signs and the slogan “Beyond Petroleum.”
Read the whole article – it stinks to high heaven. And its just par for the course in Democrat politics.
To remind everyone: the reason Matt and I wrote Caucus of Corruption was not to tell a tale of Democrat corruption but to point out that nothing ever gets done about it. The reason you have these incestuous politico-economic relationships is because Democrats rarely get punished for corruption – and then only when it looks like their corruption might cost an election.
Absent that, and you can rise as high as you like in the Democrat party – even such things as having a whore operate out of your DC condo (Barney Frank) doesn’t result in punishment. Only risking a loss – such as was the case in former NJ Senator Bob Toricelli; his scandals put his seat at risk…and here’s the kicker: the means Democrats used to bump him off the ballot and save the seat were illegal.
Do you think any of these Democrats are going to show any shame or remorse over this? Heck no! Rahmbo is looking forward to parlaying his White House time in to yet more public office in the future – and as long as he looks like a man who can win elections, Democrats will stand by him. Only when Democrats start going to jail – and Democrat rank-and-file voters start punishing them in primaries – will this Caucus of Corruption be destroyed.
