Former Deputy Interior Secretary J. Steven Griles today became the highest-ranking Bush administration official convicted in the Jack Abramoff influence-peddling scandal, pleading guilty to obstructing justice by lying to a Senate committee.

It turns out Rudy Giuliani's wife has been married three times also - which the Giuliani campaign has been trying to hide.

And to top it all off it turns out Atty General Gonzalez did lie about being involved in the attorney firing scandal.

How much more "decency and morals" does America have to endure from these "ethical" politicians in the GOP?

Gonzalez is such a disaster. I never thought I'd look back fondly at the innocent days of John Ashcroft putting drapes over those nude statues...

Giuliani has been divorced? His wife has been divorced too? Do you really think people are so concerned about this? Do you think liberals care about this? Liberals didn't care when Clinton was cheating on his wife. Why should they care about this? Liberals like you still don't get it. Bill Clinton wasn't hated simply because he had an affair while he was in the Oval Office. He was hated because he tried to hide it from the American people when he was confronted about it. He basically lied to the American people. Most people that pay attention to the news already know the Giulianis have been divorced more than once. It's not news to them. Rudy Giuliani also dressed up like a woman once during a comedy skit when he was on Saturday Night Live. Is that another good reason not to vote for him? No. It is not. You complain about scandals. Politicians don't always reveal their true intentions. Democrats are on one team, and Republicans are on another team. It's a lot like football. Neither team wants the other team to know what their plan is. You know that. You are simply digging up dirt, and most people don't care about those scandals because less than 15 percent of Americans are hardcore Democrats. Do you honestly believe the majority of Americans cares about whether or not some attorneys were fired?

And what a large "thud" it made.
That whole affair is on the tips of every Americans lips. Well, a few people care, anyway.
OK, one person for certain. But I think it's probable you aren't alone, though I doubt you could fill a very large room to discuss the topic.
This isn't meant to be a substantive rebuttal. But your question was rather hyperbolic, and, therefore, my answer addresses the degree of practical importance of the issue rather than the issue itself.
Hope you don't mind.

I love this part "Griles, an oil and gas lobbyist who became an architect of President Bush's energy policies, is the ninth person convicted in a continuing Justice Department probe."
The NINTH? And it says there may be more. Rudy's third wife was young but managed 3 times already? Gonzales-amazing. Even more interesting, Bush said he had nothing to do with it. And here I thought it was the president's decision. Yes, it certainly seems that they preach morals and don't abide by the morals they preach. Always watch the ones who preach-there's usually something to hide.
Thanks for interesting news!

Who wasn't involved with Abramoff, the list included a few Democrats like Reid and Murtha.
I can't stand Rudy he is a Democrat in republican clothing.
Gonzalez did nothing wrong and neither has anyone else in the firing of the prosecutors except the prosecutors.

Isn't it amazing how much decency and morals exude from the present administration.
Kat -- there is a big difference from a consenting sexual act than killing at least 600,000 people. Don't you agree?

What morals? The GOP never had them since 1994.
