There are crooks in every walk of life, all over the world. I can't believe you spin a story about another country into a slam at the US.
Oh, wait, of course I can believe it.

We're not the only country with CEO problems...
>> Prosecutors on Friday arrested Hyundai Motor Co. Chairman Chung Mong-koo in an embezzlement and slush fund scandal engulfing South Korea's largest automaker, an official said. Prosecutors suspect the 68-year-old Chung of embezzling company funds to create a slush fund and of causing damage to the company. <<

I think that we concentrate on all the bad things that happen here like Enron and WorldCom that we don't think about CEO's in other countries that are doing the same thing.

"It's not only blacks who take drugs and kill people."
See what I mean? The intention was HARDLY to let the US off the hook; quite the opposite. It's a standard technique in rhetoric.

He was pointing out that greed and corruption are not uniquely American traits. How is that a slam against the US?

It was a gratuitouis slap against the US, on the level of "have you stopped beating your wife yet?" You know it, I now it and Dave knows it. S.O.P. and par for the course.

who mimed having sex with a Traffic Warden (traffic ticket person) as he was leaving the parliament and heading for his limo. Grabbed her hips as she was leaning forward to post a ticket and bumped up against her several times. He thought it was funny as hell as did his lackeys, I haven't heard of a complaint from the Traffic Warden, but the Italian people seem to have had enough of Mr. Berlusconi. Hope that now he's out of office his immunity from prosecution for a number of questionable dealings is also over.
