Paleeassse, we are talking about politics here. We aren't going to get any saints to sign up for the pounding you get. I understand the beauty of principled leadership and ethical conduct, but I'm realistic enough to know that most if not all people on this planet are not "clean" and there isn't something in their past they wouldn't do better or differently. Any well reasoned, rational, decent person will decline the muck drag that comes with high profile positions where the politics are a key factor. Would you consider Mr. Brownell one of the squeaky clean candidates? For the most part, anyone charismatic enough to fill the bill will most likely not have a flawless past. Surviving the weight of charges and scandal is its own training ground for dealing with adversarial media and politicians.
