pith and vinegar

<Bill Clinton lied about his personal life, but he never looted a corporate pension plan.

Bill Clinton was a politician, who lied about one hell of a lot more than his personal life. His job, like that of most politicians, was looting the taxpayers and tossing the money around in return for political power. Politicians are not out to get rich, they are out to rule. There are hundreds of ways any of them could make more money.

Sure, there are some who go to Washington with the honest intent to "make a difference." This is either burned out of them quickly, or they are replaced next election by someone who will play the game. They are told as much coming in, being informed that their job is to jump when the party leadership says "frog."

Is there anyone who has the slightest doubt that had Bill Clinton been a CEO instead of a politician, he would have been first in line with the dirty accounting procedures?
