A Culture of Corruption

Republicans have been arguing that, despite a rash of scandals, indictments and guilty pleas, that it is wrong for the Democrats to try to tar all Republicans with the sins of a few bad apples.

That argument is going to be a little bit harder to make with straight face now that James Tobin, former New England Chairperson for Bush/Cheney '04, has been convicted of participating in a conspiracy to harass the Democratic get-out-the-vote phone lines on Election Day in NH in 2002.

Why?

Because the Republican National Committee (which pretty much defines the Republican party) was paying Tobin's legal fees for high-priced DC lawyers at Williams and Connolly, to the tune of over $2 million.

Hmm. Leads you to believe that maybe the RNC and higher-ups in the Republican party had some pretty significant to hide and protect, huh? We may find that out in the ensuing civil suit. The head of the RSCC during that election cycle? Bill Frist.
