Your lapdog press in action! Oh, come on, New York Times. Why not call a spade a spade? This is a Republican corruption problem. The Democrats, after all, have no influence left to peddle. Why are you protecting them?
They wanted all the power, let them deal with the bad press:
“Concerned that the stain of” former Rep. Randy Cunningham’s (R-CA) “admission that he took bribes and evaded taxes could damage the party’s prospects, President Bush and other Republican leaders issued strong denunciations of Mr. Cunningham’s actions,” the New York Times reports.
“The case intensified attention to charges of ethical and legal violations by members of Congress, including such influential leaders as Senator Bill Frist of Tennessee, the Republican leader in the Senate, and Representative Tom DeLay, the Texas Republican who was forced to step down as majority leader after he was indicted in Texas in September.”
