Throw The Bums Out! And Get Some New Bums

What's most striking about the sentencing hearing for former Massachusetts House Speaker Sal DiMasi on corruption charges isn't in this article: It's that he's the THIRD Massachusetts House Speaker to be convicted of a felony. (One's a radio talk show host now!) And that's a testament to the inattention of the voters, who vote party lines without a thought as to whether the guys they elect are ethical or good for the state. (I have no doubt that it would be the same no matter which party was in charge) You get the leadership you deserve. And that'll never change.
