It really is amazing to me that members of Congress have a dozen different ways to be bribed by big business, and they can go on interviews and essentially say "Well, it doesn't count as a bribe, because even though it functions identically to a bribe, it doesn't meet an extremely narrow definition that we in Congress have specifically crafted so as to be easy to avoid, so I'm going to pretend to be obtuse and self-righteous and act like getting hundreds of thousands of dollars from someone wouldn't affect my decision-making just because it didn't happen in some very particular way."

Our government is in a permanent vegetative state.
