Democratic Culture of Corruption Update

WNBC in NYC is reporting that Sen. Bob Menendez is teh subject of a federal investigation. Here's what they're reporting:
A federal investigation has been launched into the financial dealings of New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez and a nonprofit agency he has helped over the years, sources said.

The U.S. attorney's office has subpoenaed the agency's records pertaining to a house once owned by then-congressman Menendez, sources told NewsChannel 4's Brian Thompson.

Menendez, a Democrat, has denied there was anything wrong with his renting the house to the North Hudson Community Action Corp. for more than $3,000 a month, even as he was working to obtain millions of dollars in federal grant money while he was a congressman.
Menendez wasn't just trying to profit from this organization. He was attempting to increase his profits by securing funding through the federal government. I don't know if that's illegal but I can't imagine that this is the type of thing that most Americans would condone.

Then again, we're talking about New Jersey, which is nothing if not the sleaze factory of the East Coast. This is the state that's brought us such ethically pure politicians as Robert 'The Torch' Torricelli, Jon Corzine and Jim McGreevey. And that's just since I started blogging.

Does this mean that Democrats will officially abandon their 'Culture of Corruption' Campaign? Of course it doesn't. They'll just pretend like this investigation isn't real while talking about Republicans' corruption. The flaw in that is the Right Blogosphere, which daily tells 'the rest of the story'. The flaw is that liberals don't think the Right Blogosphere is impacting elections and perceptions, a fatal flaw.

It appears as though there's another liberal apologist blog out there. Their name is News Hounds . The post that caught my attention dealt with last weekend's interview of Justin and Darryl Sharraltt on Hannity's America. To say that their post didn't attempt to refute Justin's story is understatement. In fact, they jump right into criticizing Mr. Hannity: Last night's (October 27th) Hannity's America was a strange magazine format which combined stories about mediums and haunted houses
