Excerpts:
"Politicians are slime, pure and simple.
They are self-serving, venal, conscienceless reprobates, perverse
enough to waste millions of dollars seeking offices where they can make
life and death decisions, and arrogant enough to believe those decisions
are never wrong... In fact, given
the shameless proclivity of American politicians to sell their souls to
the highest bidder, there arises a temptation to compare them to
prostitutes. But such an analogy would be an insult to prostitutes. I do not say this facetiously. Whatever
one may think of 'the world's oldest profession,' at least there are no
illusions about the transaction. As a rule, prostitutes do not love
their clients, and most probably do not even like them. Politicians, on
the other hand, incessantly try to pretend they are motivated by a
calling to 'public service.'" (Emphasis mine)
