Before the Democrats took control of the House of Representatives in
2006, the present speaker Nancy Pelosi said that
she was going to "drain the swamp" of Republican corruption. But the
swamp is still there, only now the Demagogues are
in charge. And there are two big alligators (of corruption) at large
by the name of Charlie Rangel (Chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee and Barney Fag (oops Frank) head of the finance committee
and what is left of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
