Just a friendly reminder...

By way of pointing out Ohio's long-running Coingate scandal and its direct link to the White House, MyDD also brings up a troubling set of GOP not-so-fun facts (check out the Toledo Blade story here):

Senior presidential advisor Lewis Libby, indicted.
Chief procurement official David Safavian, indicted.
Senior domestic policy aide Claude Allen, indicted.
Treasury Department appointee Tom Noe, indicted.

Let's not forget House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, California GOP Rep. Randy Cunningham, or uber-lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

And don't forget the fine Republicans under investigation for (or just plain implicated in) corruption-- Senator Frist, Representative Ryun, Representative Harris, Karl Rove, etc.

But, amazingly, neither the media nor the public seem to consider this a big deal. And the White House, as I wrote in my previous post, has decided that laughter is the best medicine for corruption.
