In Doyle's defense, Tommy Thompson did it first.
The initial reaction I had was "This just can not be true!!".

I imagine that the only reason why politicians with this kind of approach to their jobs (irrespective of hue) keep getting re-elected because there are electors like anonymous (above).
It is the same argument as is used for not banning drug cheats in sport -

Well, don't look to the candidates to fix the system. They are the system. Again that is said of both sides. Look instead for a fundamental shift in political culture.
