Corruption

OK, I'm gonna expose my naiveté here.

Do you have to be corrupt to be in politics? Do politics make you corrupt? Are all these people guilty or is it just politics?

I could have gone on, but I got too fucking tired. I also didn't search for graft and excluded corporate corruption which is rampant.

Is there no end to the Bush corruption?
