Hillary Campaign Honcho among 11 Busted in N.J. Sting

The only thing politicians, especially in New Jersey, are good at lately is corruption. It was the number one issue in last years election, and it seems nothing has changed. As for Hillary, she promises (if the Hsu matter is any indication) to make her administration, if elected, as corrupt as that of her spouse. She has lots of potential:
Two New Jersey state legislators, a minister and two mayors - one a Hillary Clinton campaign backer - were among the biggest fish netted yesterday in a sweeping federal corruption sting.

In all, 11 public officials were arrested for taking payoffs from a fake insurance company set up by the FBI in the year-long probe.

"I thought I could no longer be surprised by a combination of brazenness, arrogance and stupidity, but the people elected in this state continue to defy description," said U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie, who is on a crusade against corruption.

He called it "the disease that affects the State of New Jersey."
