The most corrupt?

It looks like the US it the most corrupt country in the world? For months there we were inundated with news about the corruption and swindling in the financial sector. And there is many more of these to come. Then there was the buying of the primaries and then the election. Political action committees are where people with money give politicians money to get elected and do what they are told. In other words they buy them. Then we had the scandal of Blagojevich the Governor of Illinois trying to sell the senate seat of Obama. And now we have the $50 billion Madoff ponzi scheme. US capitalism is corrupt from top to bottom. 

On a lighter and more inspiring note. It seems there is a movement afoot to send boxes and bags of shoes to the White House in solidarity with the journalist who threw his shoes at Bush when he was in Iraq. Sean.
