WaPo: DeLay-Abramoff Money Trail

The Washington Post draws you a map of sorts.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure the public gets it. Oh yes, there is corruption on both sides of the aisle. I would never pretend to state otherwise. But the size, scope, and even the sentiment behind the corruption on the part of key Republicans like DeLay, like Dr HMO, Bill "Here Kitty, Kitty... I want to dissect you!" Frist" and even James Senselessbrenner... er... Sensenbrenner is on a scale so much larger and more dangerous to our society than what we see elsewhere that everything else pales by comparison.

Yes, I'd like to see corruption everywhere abolished. But first, we have to understand the problem. DeLay has corrupted politics in a way that is so much worse than it ever was before. Frist corrupted it again by making Capitol Hill a rubberstamp for this White House - and at the point we have a rubber stamp, we could save a fortune by simply firing all of Congress.
