This has been a bad year for this. Not just lawbreaking politicans, but that it's done with such callous indifference to being called to account. Getting caught with your hand in the cookie jar is one thing, but when your hand is in up to your elbow you make me look like an idiot for having voted for you. (Well, in my case it's Eliot Spitzer, but the wound is still fresh after six months....)
