Have you heard about the latest high-end scam artist? No, not Madoff, but this joker Sir Allen Stanford who is accused of running an $8 billion fraud that on the surface sounds an awful lot like Madoff's scandal. Part of the emerging Stanford story is his soft money donations back in 2000 to prominent Democrats, and I think it's an important reminder because it reminds us that the sleaze in Washington is bipartisan. The next time you hear someone slamming all Republicans or all Democrats but giving their side a free pass please remind them that the problem isn't the parties it's the politicians. As a breed they make ambulance chasers look good by comparison.

I read something written by Michael Kinsley that went something like this. The really bad, scary stuff that are done to us in Washington DC isn’t what is illegal but the things that are done that are actually legal.
This is Mr. Kinsley’s quote. “The scandal isn’t what’s illegal; it’s what’s legal.”
Mr Kinsley is spot on. Thanks for the quote
