>United States Senator David Vitter was reelected in 2010 even after a scandal involving behavior that I would consider shameful,[1] and the antics of former DC mayor Marion Barry[2] are probably still notorious enough that they don't need further discussion here.
This is sex dirt and drug dirt. Money dirt is crucial to the functioning of politics, and I'd like to see a similar list of politicians who have survived evidence of kickbacks, bribery, money laundering, and misuse of campaign funds. Sleeping with someone other than your wife while being videotaped smoking crack will not put you in prison.
>I by no means assume that everyone in politics lacks personal integrity.
