I'll grant you the Bush administration was arrogant - they all are
(see "Jane's Law"). But corrupt? Hardly. In the entire eight years of
the Bush administration, ONE person was convicted of impropriety, and
that for testimony about a crime that never happened.

As a matter of contrast:
Forty-seven individuals and businesses associated with the Clinton
machine were convicted of or pleaded guilty to crimes with 33 of
these occurring during the Clinton administration itself. There were
in addition 61 indictments or misdemeanor charges. 14 persons were
imprisoned.
