That culture of corruption thing
Despite the continuing low-level rumble of the Mark Foley scandal, the Democrats seem to have largely abandoned their "culture of corruption" talking points.
Why?
Two reasons.
First, there still isn't $90,000 in my freezer.
Second, Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid violated disclosure rules (at the very least) when he failed to report that he traded $400,000 worth of land for an interest in a LLC. An interest which later turned into $1.1 million.
As Captain Ed notes here and here, there may be more to this than a simple failure to fill out the right form.
On a side note, the mainstream media still seem far more interested in a GOP pervert than Democrats and their shady business deals if the priority given the stories is any indication.
*UPDATE* Thanks to the folks over at Newsbusters, we have the following scorecards on Harry Reid's little problem.

Can't wait til you can claim 2 billion liberals oppressed. Keep up the good work. Good blogs find their way to conservative talk radio ocassionally thus gaining broader audience and more impact.
