Comments on: What Doesn’t TARP Stand For? http://bloodthirstyliberal.com/?p=9035 "The hobgoblin of little blogs." "A knack for taking the already disturbing and turning it into the abjectly ghastly."

It wasn't bribes they were paying, it was protection money. Congress has the biggest racket in the world: "nice little business you have there; it'd be a shame if it happened to be taxed out of existence." Remember the lesson of Bonasera in "The Godfather": you have to pay your tribute. If a business or business association doesn't pay its protection money to Congress, pretty soon they won't be able to get anyone to listen to their problems. Totally Amoral Representatives' Pad it is. Remember: when the legislature can determine what can be bought and sold, the first thing on the block is the legislators themselves.
