Open Thread - "Graft Gets You A Better Politician"

Movie clip from 1940 or political analysis that NEVER gets old?
By Frances Langum — February 10, 2014

My husband and I noticed this movie listing for tonight on TCM:

The Great McGinty (1940) - The rise and fall of a crooked politico, who comes clean about an unsavory bridge contract, and gets himself and his partner in hot water.

Coincidence? We think not.
