If you watched Leslie Stahl's interview on 60 Minutes Sunday night with convicted lobbyist Jack Abramhoff it only reinforces the frustration and futility with our system and leadership in this country. It was greed and corruption right in our face (and he'll probably write a bestseller). It's amazing the country can function at all. And if watching that interview didn't send a WAKE UP call, nothing will.
Stahl talked about how stomach-turning it was for her to hear the nitty gritty of how lobbyists corrupt our legislature. "I think the public's going to be furious watching this," she said. "The story just shows you that our system really, really is in trouble."
