Shades of HP
This kind of thing requires investigative reporting. The culture of corruption in federal and now - we must see - likely state government, is tracable to Ashcroft's DOJ and Abramoff of Preston Gates and Ellis. It is tracable right to Bill Neucom whoes stunning defeats at the hand of Reno's DOJ could only be undone with corruption, coming through Abramoff (who I view as a patsy like dunn).

But we must not become overly cynical. These are odd times. The cynical come to view government just as those who would like to harm government and dismantal the foundations we in IT have built. By the way, Foley, as fait would have it, is also related to the culture of corruption, more and more being identified as Microsoft (or at least Gate's family) induced.

While Abramoff was at Preston Gates and Ellis, he not only recommended his cronies to Microsoft where they were paid monthly stipends to influence peddle the company out of anti-trust remedies but he also set up charities used for politics in Texas that eventually forced Delay out of office.

Delay was replace by a fellow known to be even worse then he in terms of wrong doing and it is this fellow who is targeted by the Foley story. His resignation is necessary, as Foley's was, in order to start the healing process. This is not about Rs and Ds. It is about a culture of corruption directly tracable to our IT industry, Microsoft, the Gates Family, and the legals (particularly Bill Neukom) who have so inappropriatly advised them.
