It's money-grubbing worst

FOUND ONLINE: The trail of a high-powered lawyer this month has painted a picture of Washington's elite at it's money-grubbing worst, illustrating how lawyers, lobbyists and public relations specialists leapt onto slippery ethical slopes to cash in on a foreign government's papering over of its sordid reputation.

Wow. That's way to long, and I have a couple of complaints; it's money-grubbing worst should be its money-grubbing worst; public relations specialists probably should be public-relations specialists, and leapt probably should be leaped.

And they probably should have a period after worst and started a new sentence.
