Sorry. That wasn't the quote I intended to use. But that Reuter's excerpt provides some interesting information, and I'm sure other examples can be found that speak to Republican's attempt to spread this scandal to Democrats to lessen the damage to their party.

That said, I know that are corrupt Democrats as well as Republicans. And I would be delighted if corrupt members of both parties are forced out of office as a result of this scandal {or for any other reason}.
