Ann, that's a ferret.
Unlikely. Anyone who wants power enough to become a politician probably shouldn't be trusted with that power.

As an aggregate, or individually? I think we have some prominent politicians that are here (Obama and Feingold spring immediately to mind), but I'm very skeptical of any national government being without its fair share of crooks and loonies.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Regarding Ron Paul and capital punishment, he's come to oppose the federal death penalty, but thinks it's just ducky if the states want to do it.
I did not know that. And here I was thinking, "My god, a Texan who doesn't think the execution chamber should have a popcorn vendor!"
At least the cognitive dissonance is fading.

If it makes you feel better about your head of state, our Taoiseach was recently giving evidence in a tribunal investigating his finances a few years ago. His excuse for the discrepancies in his finances? He deposited a briefcase full of foreign currencies at one point.
Who uses that as an EXCUSE? What world would you have to be living in to think that carrying around a briefcase full of cash is the lesser of two evils?
