'CASINO JACK' AND THE D.C. CHOIRBOYS

I just finished watching a documentary called "Casino Jack and the United States of Money" by Alex Gibney.

Unbelievable. Such massive scams and corruption. You know, you can smell the corruption in most state capitals. But in Washington, D.C., the money flows like rivers.

Big-time GOP guys Jack Abramoff, Ralph Reed, Tom Delay and Michael Scanlon looked like choirboys but the only tune they sang was "give me money, honey, I want money."

They lied, cheated and stole their way to the top, the worst double-dealers I have ever seen. Wow. What con artists.

I had no idea. This documentary would make a good civics lesson in a political science or ethics class:
