Qublai Qhan

In Xanadu did Qublai Qhan
a stately taco eat,
when ALF the spacerat,
ran through to talk--
Of cabbages and kings
And whether pigs have wings.
I kind of don't care about this. I'm not really sure if I should, but it seems to me that politicians bribe each other for influence all the time. The fact that this was done blatantly with a pile o' cash instead of for some sort of favor points (redeemable for a job or future support) seems to make this slightly more honest rather than less so. Sure if we could get rid of all of the influence trading I'd also have a problem with this but if the only idea here is that 'well, he did something illegal and we can nail him so we're going to' I'm not sure I really care. I'm not saying don't move forward on the prosecutions, because I don't really have any sympathy here either, but it does seem kind of pointless.
