Today, every politician in Washington takes bribes, from the president on down. Only please call them campaign contributions....
And so we came to a time during the Clinton administration when the Supreme Court actually ruled that a law prohibiting the giving of gifts to a public official "for or because of an official act" didn't mean anything unless you knew exactly what the official act was. In other words, bribery was only illegal if the briber [sic] was dumb enough to give you a receipt.
