Three political sisters convicted of corruption

Story here. Feminists used to insist that if there were more women in political positions, there'd be less corruption. They don't say this anymore. Now they just talk about it in general, abstract terms about it just "being better" for whatever reason (diversity of viewpoints, etc.). Point is, *anyone* can (and usually does) get corrupted before or during assuming any office of public trust. Excerpt:

'PITTSBURGH (AP) — The story has more irony than a Greek tragedy. Three sisters from a devoutly Catholic family have seen their personal and political careers ruined by a scandal that began with, of all things, a letter to some nuns.

Thursday's conviction of suspended Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Joan Orie Melvin along with her aide and sister, Janine Orie, on campaign corruption charges mean they might join a third sister — former state Sen. Jane Orie — in state prison. No sentencing date has been set.

The former senator was sentenced last year to 2½ to 10 years for using her state-paid staff to run her campaigns, though she was acquitted of having them campaign for Melvin, then a lower appellate court judge, who was running for the Supreme Court in 2003 and 2009. Joan Orie Melvin and Janine Orie were convicted in a spinoff investigation and found guilty of similarly misusing Melvin's former staff and the senator's.'
