But Who's Counting...

FP Passport is reporting that one fifth of all candidates in India's national election are facing criminal charges.

Wonder how this compares with Illionis where, it is said, 1,000 businessmen and officials, including three governors, have been convicted of corruption since 1970 (link).

Makes me remember my late friend Pete Elliott who used to say that he and Aaron Phelps got the bankruptcy judgeships in Orange County because they were the only two trustees not then under indictment.
