Governors selling senate appointments. Financial executives and corporate CEO’s scamming stockholders and the public. Unions demanding pay for not working. Election officials fixing elections. Congressmen taking bribes. Politicians of all stripes involved in scandal after scandal. What in hell is happening to our country?
I’m convinced that we might as well forget about letting the law deal with this scum. They are seldom prosecuted, even more seldom convicted, and if convicted, they get a slap on the hand or a few weeks in a federal resort prison.
Maybe the time has come to resurrect the punishment of tar, feathers and a rail for these miscreants. Make it a new prime-time reality show. Let everyone watch them toppled from their towers of public trust and humiliated before the entire world.
God, I must be getting soft…instead of hot tar, make that Super Glue. Just as hard to get off, but without the burns.

Now that is one reality show I would watch...for sure. >:o(
Yeah. We may have a difference of opinion on some political issues, but this is one area where I will send you a resounding "AMEN!" I was watching last night as some commentators were saying that "technically" there may not be enough evidence of actually receiving bribes to convict Blagojevich of anything. Are you kidding me?!!! Pat Buchanan said "he may be guilty of crimes of the heart, but..." He won his governorship with the claim that he was fighting corruption. He should be stripped of much more than just his job title to atone for such a blatant betrayal of the people of Illinois & the U.S. for that matter. What an ass!
