Interesting how each side handles their respective messy situations when initially charged with wrongdoing.

NohopeSeriously....the king of sweeping generalizations that make absolutely no sense at all.

I'm afraid I dont understand what the hell your talking about.

I fear the elaboration will not be as clear as you're hoping for.

It's corruption, stupid- Time has long past to stop five-year scandals(Headline)

During the past four years, the prefix to Park Young-joon, one of the closest confidants to President Lee Myung-bak, was ``king.� While Park was working in Cheong Wa Dae, he was the ``king secretary�. When he moved to the government, officials called him ``king vice minister.�

So the prosecution�s arrest of Park Monday on charges of taking 170 million won ($150,000) in bribes from a construction company signifies two things. First, the reign of the President ― the emperor above the king ― has entered its final year. Second, Lee is following the same path all of his predecessors have to become another ``failed� President.

There are differences, however. Former Presidents formally apologized for irregularities committed by their aides and family members, and called for thorough investigations and disciplining. Lee has not yet done so.

Recently the prosecution is also not what it once was. State prosecutors, who used to pull no punches when probing the sons of sitting presidents, have been become lambs during the current administration. So they made little effort to visit the residence of the National Assembly speaker for questioning, and even the investigation into President Lee�s own son consisted of just a questionnaire.

Already, they are showing signs of wrapping up Park�s bribe-taking case early, saying their probe has reached the final stage.

Most Koreans suspect the $150,000 bribe is just the tip of the iceberg, given Park was involved in almost all influence-peddling scandals of this administration, including dubious diamond mining in Cameroon. He has survived them all unscathed. They know from experience that Park�s irregularities might go far beyond the simple receipt of the relatively small-sum bribe, punishable by just the fines of 10 million won or less than five years in jail.

Seriously getting tired of the kind of drivel you continuously post.

Cant decide if your a troll or a few cards short of a full deck. If I had to guess I'd say probably both

Notice how silent some posters are when the Left goes bananas? They're assaulting each other at their party convention, the UPP is in tatters... Yet I'm not seeing any criticism from our usually political posters.

Hmmmm...

Like I said, it seems like some ppl are just bent on showing one side.

[falco]

Well, according to some.....
