Dey asked me why I robbed banks...

...and I looked at 'em like dey'd just grown two heads. "Dat's where da money is!", I tole dem.

So, ya ask me why dere's corruption at the top, I tells ya: Dat's where da power is!

Ya wanna be a corrupt barrista at Starbucks and make a few pennies filching from da tip jar? Or ya wanna make millions runnin' a big compny or one-a dem guvmint bureaus or bein' da, wadda ya callit? Viceroy of Iraq? Yer choice.

Goin' by what we been hearin' here on Da Other Side, me, I'd go for the Viceroy of Iraq job. What a gig, planefuls of hunnerdollah bills, passin' 'em to my buddies in duffel bags holdin' a million smackers each, private army a' Blackwater muscle, planes and fancy cars (what I coulda done with one them Hummers on one-a my bank jobs!), floozies, booze...sweeeeet! Capone hisself never had it so good as dat Bremer guy. Dem Republicans really know a good ting when dey see it!
