GOP Corruption Aplenty

Karl Rove told a group of Republicans not to worry so much about 2008, as it is GOP corruption and not the Iraq war that caused the GOP to tank in 2006.

Actually, it's more corruption, lies, Iraq and incompetence, but even if Rove were correct, corruption is as integral a part of the GOP governance as is fear-mongering.

GOP Sen. Ted Stevens is the latest example.

From the Post:

Agents from the FBI and the Internal Revenue Service raided the Alaska home of Sen. Ted Stevens (R) yesterday as part of a broad federal investigation of political corruption in the state that has also swept up his son and one of his closest financial backers, officials said.

Stevens, the longest-serving Republican senator in history, is under scrutiny from the Justice Department for his ties to an Alaska energy services company, Veco, whose chief executive pleaded guilty in early May to a bribery scheme involving state lawmakers.
