Ever wonder why politicians keep getting caught up in scandals? Does the entire country go around groping subordinates at parties and giving other people's money to their friends, and the only reason we don't hear about it is because they haven't been elected to anything?
No. Politics is different. For better or worse, the behavior of politicians is influenced by a unique and volatile combination of personal ambition and public accountability. It takes them places most of us will never go.
