With politicians, the disappointment is so continuous that it takes someone of the calibre of, say, Edwin Edwards to truly elevate my opinion. Fast Eddie was corrupt, easily purchased, and prone to spending other people's money on his mistresses. But he was also honest, forthright, and a lot of fun to watch. That's the "best" I ever expect to see from a pol: honest corruption and good entertainment. The only exceptions I've seen have been Dennis Kucinich and Dr. Paul. I gave up on honest government and non-whingey politicians a LONG time ago.
