Pick your politician. Scrutinize him/her closely enough, and you'll see nothing but crap. They're all dirty.
Humans in general are all dirty, the question is to what degree. I try and put myself into the position of a politician handling various issues and understand why they do this or that. A lot of times you can see that they're probably just trying to make the best of a bad situation and they really had no choice but to do something kind of slimy.
This however is ridiculous as he's just pushing his weight around stomping anyone that gets in his way. That's the way he operates as a political strategy. This is not damage control of a tragedy or trying to fluff an unfortunate reality the public would rather not know about.
Its eerily similar to Bush, Valerie Plame, "I'm the decider", "you're either with us or against us". I don't want somebody like that running the country again.
