China executed Zheng Xiaoyu for corruption and grave irresponsibility with regards to his duties as Drug and Food Safety Chief. While this is coming from China and I no way condone his execution it started a question for me about how many of our elected officials would be executed for taking bribes and grave irresponsibility to their duties if this nation was run by a Chinese type government.
Think of how many of the elected officials in this country have been caught taking brides. Think of how many appointed officials have demonstrated grave irresponsibility in their duties to the nation.
While I'm glad that the US doesn't execute people for these types of crimes I'm disappointed that so many of our elected and appointed government officials are not held to any accountability for their deficiencies.
Even though I'm just beating a dead horse I'm still pissed about Scooter getting clemency. This is the end of my rant.
