It’s a familiar scene by now: The politician is caught with his pants down, even if his boxers are still up. He feints, spins, lies and ducks. And then, finally, he breaks down in tears, apologizing to us, to his wife, to his constituency and, occasionally, to his God.
The sequence is monotonously predictable, but we’re still riveted.
And with good reason. A politician’s confession uncovers a vital truth about his relationship with us, the voters who put him into office.

A vocation as a public servant is almost like a religious experience, isn't it? In that following the Tao, the devotee surrenders personality to the Will of Higher Intelligence, while the public servant's task is to forsake his personality's agenda in order to uphold those of the majority.
But that requires a certain knowledge of self. No one can give up a thing they don't know they have.

It is hard to see someone that people did put so much faith in fall so hard. People voted and believed in him and yet this is the outcome.. It is just sad to see happen. What would you do now if you were him?

Perhaps another indication that we need more women in elected positions. At all levels.

It's very sad to watch someone be so untrue to themselves. He obviously needs help for his pattern of abuse. I hope he gets it.
