GOP Only One Indictment Away From Triple Crown By Lee Camp
WASHINGTON D.C. – With former House majority leader Tom Delay facing two indictments for money laundering and conspiracy and Senate majority leader Bill Frist soon to be indicted for insider trading, the Republican party could wrap up the coveted Corruption Triple Crown if White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove gets indicted for his role in outing an undercover CIA operative.
The Republicans seem quite excited about the prospect of taking home the Crown since it hasn't technically been achieved since the Reagan Administration, which ultimately ranked in with a record 30 convictions.
Although many officials in the Clinton Administration were investigated, a measly single member was convicted, quite an embarrassing showing.
George W. and his fellow GOP members, however, have really stepped it up here in the second half, and they're on pace to not only take home the Triple Crown but also earn a spot in the Corruption Hall of Fame. Let's just hope they stay healthy and continue to lack any moral judgment.
