America for Sale

by TChris

A lengthy report entitled America for Sale: The Cost of Republican Corruption (pdf), prepared by House Rules Committee member Louise Slaughter and the Committee's Democratic staff, assesses the consequences of the cozy relationships that Republicans have formed with lobbyists.

Raw Story fills in the blanks:

The report delivers a smackdown on major Democratic campaign themes while delicately omitting names: "a corrupt politician who lives on a yacht" (Duke Cunningham, (R-CA), who resigned), "three mysterious Russian industrialists who laundered $1 million to a prominent political leader" (Tom DeLay (R-TX) and "a radical religious anti-gambling activist on the take from the gaming industry" (Ralph Reed).
