If there was truly campaign finance reform, politicians would get more work done for the American people instead of catering to special interest groups and their lobbyists.
Back in the day, politicians seemed dull and boring. Most of them looked uncomfortable on TV. They certainly didn't appear to have celebrity aspirations.
No shortage of today's politicians who look forward to licking hot mics as if they are ice cream cones.
Even the lower level politicians believe it's all about them. Misappropriating funds from personal spending to lavish trips at taxpayer expense.
Once they have stolen enough money and/or gotten themselves booted out of office, some former politicians become political analysts on TV and radio.
I would not be surprised if there's a future reality show in the making...Real Former Politicians of Capitol Hill starring [insert names here].๐๐
