Political Round-Up: The Disgrace Edition  
Sal DiMasi guiltyAnthony WeinerYesterday, former House Speaker Sal DiMasi was found guilty of seven of the nine federal corruption charges against him. He becomes the third speaker in a row to meet a similar fate. What does this say about the so-called “culture of corruption” on Beacon Hill, and with State Republicans doing their best to make the point that democrats are largely the ones stepping out of line – will this clinch Sen. Scott Brown’s reelection? Plus – speaking of disgraced democrats – despite earlier vows to stay the course, New York Congressman Anthony Weiner appears poised to call it quits. Our political and legal analysts weigh in - Michael Goldman, senior consultant for the Government Insight Group; Garrett Quinn, author of the ‘Less is More’ blog on Boston.com; Marjorie Clapprood, who served in the Mass. House of Representatives from 1984 until 1990 and ran for Lt. Governor in 1990; and David Frank of Lawyers Weekly.
