It's being called the Trifecta of Corruption: Republican officials from the House, the Senate and the Executive Branch are under different federal investigation.
THE SENATE: Majority Leader Bill Frist: His company records have been subpoenaed for insider trading in what was supposed to have been a "blind" trust.
THE HOUSE: Majority Leader Tom DeLay: A Texas grand jury just indicted his PAC for illegally accepting corporate campaign contributions.
THE WHITE HOUSE: The Justice Department's Public Integrity Section is involved in a massive investigation of Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Abramoff was indicted last month on wire fraud and conspiracy charges. The investigation has already led to the arrest of one White House official, David H. Safavian, who was arrested Monday. The Justice Department is investigating Abramoff and Safavian's connections to none other than PalJoey's favorite bad guy (you guessed it): KARL ROVE, who of course is also about to be indicted in the Valerie Plame investigation.
Has there ever been a more corrupt administration? And corruption could be forgiven,but not when coupled with the kind of murderous incompetency it exhibits time after time after time.
PalJoey's prediction: The next few months will see congressional investigations, firings, resignations, indictments, convictions and impeachments.
