Asshole Democrat Watch

Evan Bayh of Indiana is about as much of a Democrat and Joe Lieberman. He is by far one of the most corrupted public officials ever to serve in office (and he just hasn't been caught yet).

Check out this profile from Glenn Greenwald. My favorite part:

He is a loyal servant to the insurance and health care industries over his own constituents -- as his wife sits on the Boards of numerous health care giants, who, right when Bayh became a Senator, began paying her millions of dollars in cash and stock. And this Sermonizer of Personal Responsibility is the ultimate by-product of nepotism, following faithfully and effortlessly in the footsteps of his Daddy-Senator, whose seat he now occupies. The fact that he's a Democrat -- and was Obama's close-second choice for Vice President -- just underscores how bipartisan these afflictions are.

The rot just permeates the place. And there is no one -- not even our current president -- who aspires to join Congress or occupy the White House who isn't smeared to some degree in the excrement of corporate favor.
