The Corruption of Culture

Another Rethuglican bites the dust. Remember that the Rethuglican controlled Ohio unemployment insurance fund was investing with this guy. 53 felony counts, no less:

TOLEDO -- Thomas W. Noe, the coin dealer and prominent Republican contributor whose $50 million state coin investment sparked one of the biggest scandals in Ohio state government history, was indicted today on 53 felonies, including theft of more than $1 million.

The charges include engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, 11 counts of theft, 11 of money laundering, 8 of tampering with records and 22 of forgery. He could be sentenced to a maximum 175 years in prison, although such a sentence is considered unlikely.

How many pardons do you suppose Bush will hand down on his last day in office? Looks like it's going to have to number in the thousands.
