""Senator Smith is a thief and a crook! Lobbyists own him lock, stock, and barrel! And not only that, he'll take any bribe that's offered him! And besides, he has sex with his secretary!""

I suspect many may expect this to have a good liklihood of being true of a person in a senior political position (regardless of the nation), and one may have to ask for evidence that it wasn't so.

Oh well?
