3. I'm still waiting for a media expose on the GOP's "Culture of Corruption".

2. Oh, yes. We should ALL be very concerned about the "Culture

7.  The report included Ambassador John "PNAC" Bolton's 2 cents on the issue.
What ever happened to "Clean up your own backyard"?

8. Oh right, this is Wolfie's thing...
The UN has a culture of corruption... so Wolfowitz requires naked cronyism to embark on his campaign to clean it up!

...Actual argument.
