NEW YORK (Reuters) - Six New York politicians were arrested for their alleged role in a bribery scandal in which a prominent Democrat paid top Republicans for permission to run on their ticket in the city's upcoming mayoral race, prosecutors said.
Democratic state Senator Malcolm Smith and five Republicans connected to the bribery scandal were arrested on Tuesday morning, an official at the U.S. Attorney's office in Manhattan said
...
The charges include bribery, extortion, and wire and mail fraud.
"A show-me-the-money culture seems to pervade every level of New York government," said Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara. "The complaint describes an unappetizing smorgasbord of graft and greed involving six officials who together built a corridor of corruption stretching from Queens and the Bronx to Rockland County and all the way up to Albany itself."
See, the professional vote whores agree on a lot more than they let on. The trivial bickering about vaginas and whatnot is just to keep us happy.
