That's right. You had the Repuglicans look after 'transparency' and
'integrity'.
No administration has been more secretive on all issues than BushCo.
So much for transparency. Say hello to Mr. Paulson.
The words Bush administration and the word integrity.... I'm sorry.. I
can't make a sentence with both words in it.
There has never been a more corrupt bunch of greedy *******s in a
single administration than in the last one, and you want those foxes
to guard the hen house?
Now I KNOW you've lost your mind, Timbo.
Greed is good, so I'll let that pass.

Let's talk about corruption. In the eight years of the Bush administration
there was ONE individual convicted of a crime. One. And his crime was giving
false information to the FBI regarding events that were not criminal.

This one conviction is the smallest number in like forever. Based on
empirical evidence, it is a fact that the Bush administration is the least
corrupt in modern history. The Obama administration may well do better -
we'll have to wait and see.

You're right, there was a lack of transparency during the Bush
admisitration. But it wasn't for lack of trying.

The Bush administration tried three times during eight years to pass
legislation for more oversight and reporting by Mae & Mac. All three
attempts were blocked by Democrats.

*moving HeyBub over to the Apologists column*

.... for citing irrefutable facts.
