Culture of corruption. Honest leadership. Remember those phrases, folks. On second thought, don't bother. You're going to hear them clanging in your head before Campaign '06 is through. From D.C., where the Harry Reid-led Democrats unveiled their ethics reform package, to Las Vegas, where Nevada Democrats did the same, the party smells blood. Ethics is going to be used more than ever this year. And on the eve of a sexy political corruption trial here, expect the culture of corruption also to be affixed to the County Commission while challengers present their honest leadership. I have a headache already.
