By your standards?

By my rough, conservative calculation -- feel free to add -- there have
been corruption, incompetence, and contracting or cronyism scandals in
these cabinet departments: Defense, Education, Justice, Interior, Homeland
Security, Veterans Affairs, Health and Human Services, and Housing and
Urban Development. I am not counting State, whose deputy secretary, a
champion of abstinence-based international AIDS funding, resigned last
month in a prostitution scandal, or the General Services Administration,
now being investigated for possibly steering federal favors to Republican
Congressional candidates in 2006. Or the Office of Management and Budget,
whose chief procurement officer was sentenced to prison in the Abramoff
fallout. I will, however, toss in a figure that reveals the sheer depth of
the overall malfeasance: no fewer than four inspectors general, the
official watchdogs charged with investigating improprieties in each
department, are themselves under investigation simultaneously -- an
all-time record.
