DNC: The Un-Sweet Sixteen: Breaking Down the Brackets on Repuke corruption

[NVMojo]

March 21, 2006

WASHINGTON, March 21 /U.S. Newswire/ -- This weekend, millions of Americans had their college basketball brackets busted as underdog teams knocked off perennial powerhouses to reach the Sweet Sixteen in the NCAA basketball tournament. Sadly, the brackets in the "Un-Sweet Sixteen," the leading members of the Republican culture of corruption, remain intact. And, while the college basketball field will dwindle as the tournament progresses, the "Un-Sweet Sixteen" is just the tip of the iceberg, as more and more Republican politicians, lobbyists, and Bush Administration officials become ensnared in scandals and investigations.

"March Madness may be fun for millions of Americans, but the Republican culture of corruption is no game," said Democratic National Committee Communications Director Karen Finney. "The American people always lose when Republicans in Washington put their own political gain and the special interests ahead of doing what's right for America.

"Americans want change, not more of the same cronyism, incompetence and corruption that we've seen from Republicans in Washington and state capitals across the country. This election is going to be a slam dunk for Democrats if Republicans don't join us in fighting for real reforms that put our government back to work protecting the safety and security of the America people."
