More on the Culture of Corruption

Obviously with such important news as the Vice President's hunting accident, it is easy to see how all other political stories would get pushed to the back burner. I won't cry conspiracy, but how fortunate that the democrats could shift their focus away from the Abramoff scandal just as information surfaced:

Democrats have taken more money from lobbyists than Republicans during the past 15 years, according to an independent analysis of campaign contributions.

Since the 1990 election cycle, Democrats have accepted more than $53 million from lobbyists while Republicans have taken more than $48 million for their election campaigns, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

The Democrat's plans to clean up the culture of corruption should not be affected by this news, besides extending the clean-up to both sides of the aisle.
