I always thought that DC would win that honor.
I guess once you make it to DC ranks, corruption is kept in-house and everyone zips their lips and leadership uses what they know to keep everyone voting the “right” way (or to get rid of you when you aren’t going along with the program).
What’s also “statistically improbable” is that a politician who ascended so quickly through this corrupt swamp and ended up in the White House did so without also engaging in corruption. To judge both by the cast of characters in the WH and actions of this administration, the Chicago Way is thoroughly ensconced in 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
DC wins hands down for national and world-wide corruption.
Chicago wins for state-wide, regional, local, and community organizational corruption. They're so very corrupt that they managed to take the stain and and put it into the us presidency. If that ain't complete and total corruption, I don't know what is.
