Unapologetically Corrupt

I always thought that being corrupt was a bad thing, but, if you’re a U.S. representative, say like John Murtha, being corrupt, if you’re “taking care of your district,” is evidently okay.

“If I’m corrupt, it’s because I take care of my district,” Mr. Murtha said. “My job as a member of Congress is to make sure that we take care of what we see is necessary. Not the bureaucrats who are unelected over there in whatever White House, whether it’s Republican or Democrat. Those bureaucrats would like to control everything. Every president would like to have all the power and not have Congress change anything. But we’re closest to the people.” (bold by ed.)

Critics claim John Murtha is capitalizing on a corrupt system, but he’s not apologizing
