Taft (Kansas), Cunningham, Taft (Ohio), Ney

Thursday's Republican corruption on parade.

Taft, This one is from Kansas, has been indicted for converting political campaign contributions for personal use and wire fraud.

The Duke's various money making schemes are being documented at Talking Point Memo.


Of course the Ohio Taft, the states leader, has now been charged with four crimes.

This leads to Ney, where we are reminded how cheaply a politician can be bought.

"I want to remain as governor," he said. "I have many things to do between now and the election next year."

Yeah, I'll bet.
