No, no. ALL US politicians are corrupt. Their system doesn't practically allow for an honest politician to get elected, let alone stay in office.

But the collapse of the Alabama Republican government under a series of scandals in both the legislature and executive branches is enjoyable none the less

Enjoy it all you can because I'm pretty sure there'll be a Democrat along pretty soon to take the heat off the Republicans.

Undoubtedly. And at that time, the Republicans will claim that only Democrats ever do wrong and that a Republican has never even farted, let alone engaged in impropriety.

But not today. Today they just have to eat it.

The government of the state of Alabama is collapsing due to massive scandal involving bribery, kickbacks and abuse of power from its most senior elected officials.

Enjoy that while you fuss over a Democrat congressman who misused his campaign funds.

I'm sure it won't be long before a Democrat government comes under a similar scandal - as I said the whole US political system is a massive snake pit of legalized corruption - but today's not the day.

Democrats in Alabama are also very corrupt. Don't think it's just a Republican issue, it isn't.
