  • Jon Stewart digs into the trial of comically corrupt Senator Robert Menendez of New Jersey, and in a new segment called "How Dumb Is You?" asks the senator how he got caught engaging in such obvious illegal corruption, while government officials like Nancy Pelosi, Richard Burr, and Roy Blunt have been getting away with legal corruption for years. #DailyShow #JonStewart #corruption

      Exactly, I can't think of any issue more important. "Follow the money" as they say. As a society, I wish we would start discussing this heavily, starting in school, looking at cases in both local and national politics and debating what exactly corruption is.
      The better we can define it and identify it, the better we can hold politicians accountable. And, to raise self-awareness too, to make just a bit louder in peoples' heads the voice telling them they should be uneasy on that luxury skiing trip. People will still try to be corrupt of course, a la Sen Menendez, but we need to stop what we can and when we can.
      It's just amazing that most people are tolerant of corruption. There's no will to do anything about it, though it would help fix so many problems that people do care about.
