Mr Smith Goes To Washington [View all]

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do."

I think it is fair to say that we have not seen so much corruption in Washington ever in our lifetimes. Everyone seems to be on the grift? One family has taken over our government as their own personal piggy bank. The Congress does nothing.

To fight corruption, we need an anti-corruption leader.

I could imagine someone like Jack Smith, the former Special Prosecutor, as someone who would fit that bill. He would know where all the bodies are buried and he would have the authority to go after them.

Mr Smith has done an interview with Andrew Weisman, which has been shown on MSNBC. Nobody has mentioned him running for the White House. But in my opinion, he should be mentioned. We need Elliott Ness to clean up the mess.
