The Money Quote on Corrupt Democrats

Democrat Scandals Show Need for Limited Government. So says Colleen Carroll Campbell. Instapundit shares money quote:

Accusations of financial impropriety also continue to surface against Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y., the House Ways and Means Committee chairman being investigated by the House Ethics Committee. Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, continues to dodge questions about his sweetheart mortgage deal from Countrywide Financial, a company implicated in the nationwide mortgage collapse. And several other Democratic congressmen are facing media scrutiny for suspicious financial deals and earmarking practices. . . .

Given how poorly many of our national political leaders handle the perks and purse strings they already control, we should think twice before giving them free rein to exponentially expand government and manage even more of our money.

P.J.O'Rourke spoke of money in the hands of the lege in terms of giving whiskey and car keys to teenaged boys. Or you could speak of matches and gasoline to arsonists. We are about to see a trillion dollars spent by the most socialist and leftwing Congress ever. In a blind and absurd spree of wasteful and misdirected Government squandering. I called it Keynesianism on crack. Maybe we need to call this ponzified bailout spree Madoff madness. It's a socialist Ponzi scheme that will surely have many undesirable and unintended consequences.

The Chicago Way comes to DC, but TNR claims the Democrat scandals don't matter (yet). But a tinge of Obama buyer's remorse in the comments: "But, he's not even in office yet and his administration is already looking like Clinton's. Not just a scandal a week, but a scandal every other day." Yup, given all the Clinton retreads getting appointed and scandals popping up, it sure is looking like a Clinton third term.
