GOP culture of corruption claims another?

Let's play another game of "guess the party affiliation" - since the paper won't list the party of a politician that's in trouble.

Eddie Price is the mayor of Mandeville, Louisiana. Since Mandeville is one of these "everything illegal" suburbs, I almost didn't even need to research what party he was, but it turns out my hunch was correct: Yes, he's a Republican. (Sigh.)

Now - along with a local police official - Price has been charged with perjury by a grand jury. Price has been forced to turn himself in at the local jail.

Some could say this is just an isolated incident, but if that's the case, the GOP sure is full of isolated incidents, isn't it? Make no mistake: The Republican culture of corruption is a web of connected events - not isolated acts.

The culture of corruption is so pervasive in the Republican Party that one wonders why it's on track to lose only 10 congressional seats next year instead of all of them.
