Bob Herbert wrote a good one how raising corporate money seems more important to many politicians than governance. He focuses on John Boehner, Republican representative from Ohio ("That's where the money is", New York Times, 2010-10-05).
One of the best comments to the article was "The Republican Moral Compass looks like a Salvadore Dali painting."
I would have added a comment on showing up to vote no matter how you cast your vote, even leaving a blank ballot, but comments were already closed.
