In Case You Didn’t Know, NJ is Corrupt
In light of all the drama going on with the political landscape in New York, Newsweek recently put together a list of the most corrupt states in the country. This should be no surprise to anyone, but New Jersey made this elite list of seven states. Newsweek’s Andrew Romano, who hails from the Armpit of America, wrote a very nice summary of our state’s tendency to put only the most disgraceful politicians in office.
Romano discusses New Jersey’s first colonial governor, Lord Cornbury. Aside from the funny name, Lord Cornbury was a nepotistic, bribe-taking cross-dresser. Romano also mentions that gay sex scandal involving former governor Jim McGreevey. The author then touches on the FBI bust that caught a group of rabbis and state officials trafficking human organs and fake Gucci purses. Yes, you read that correctly.
I suggest reading the whole article to get an even broader sense of the level of corruption that has always plagued the Armpit of America. Though the other states in the article (New York, Louisiana, Illinois, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and Ohio) may be corrupt, none can top my beloved New Jersey.
