I know this will fall on deaf ears, or blind eyes, or whatever, but here it goes anyway. A little while back I saw a report posted by Gatewaypundit talking about the supposed "culture of corruption" that embodies the Republican party. He showed a really great graph comparing the corruption of the Clinton Administration to the corruption of the Bush administration. Sadly I couldn't find the darn thing, but this is what I did find.
The Clinton Legacy
Here are some interesting notes about the Clionton admin. that are shown on the link.

- First president sued for sexual harassment.
- First president accused of rape.

What does this all mean....Well comparing the current President to former Presidents all the way back to Nixon....George W. Bush has run the cleanest adminstration in HALF A CENTURY!
P.S. Just a little fun fact for those who want the Clintons back in office.

Now wait a second, let's hear some statistics on Ford, Carter, and Bush Senior before jumping to a conclusion like that. After all, the link compares only Nixon, Reagan, and Clinton who were all involved in their own scandals. The Clinton info was compiled after he left office, Bush still has some time to catch up.
Bush catching up? Don't hold your breath...Anyway I am looking for the #'s on the other three. I hope I can find them...god damn it the pressure is on.
Screw it...I am sick of looking. I am sorry I made the Half A Century statement. I am going to change it to "GEORGE W. BUSH HAS RUN THE CLEANEST ADMINISTRATION EVER!!!" Now I feel better.
Now I think we can add Abramoff and perhaps as many as a dozen other congressmen that are currently under investigation.
Abramoff is not apart of the Bush Administration. He is a lobbyist.
