FIFA Re-elects Sepp Blatter - Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss.

What's a little bribery and corruption scandal?  Not much for Sepp Blatter who today in Zurich was elected to his fifth consecutive term as president of FIFA just several days after 14 soccer and marketing officials were arrested on various charges of what the New York Times called :staggering levels of corruption." Didn't seem to both the 133 countries that voted for Blatter.

The official press release on the FIFA website is here while the Times' soccer superwriter, Sam Borden, provides a more objective account of the vote.
