You know what is really sad?<\/strong> You read the names of the 10 most corrupt politicians in the United States<\/a> (none will surprise you) and realize how easy<\/em> it would be to create a list of 25 -or 50- corrupt politicos<\/em>, and still know you haven\u2019t begun to scratch the surface.<\/p>\n

And as with the Clinton administration, members of the Obama administration are beginning to marry into the media<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Read Thomas Sowell<\/strong> on Unhealthy arrogance<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t miss Ed Morrissey\u2019s look<\/strong> at what Obama quietly did while you drank eggnog<\/a>.<\/p>\n
