My thought is that, even now, too many people have an unrealistic (and naive) view of the sort of people who choose to serve in high places in "official Washington." It's not a case of otherwise principled people compromising those principles in the pursuit of some personal goal.

Rather, these people are utterly devoid of any personal or intellectual integrity to begin with. Once one understands this (sad) truth, a lot of seemingly inexplicable things begin to make sense.

We're talking about truly dreadful people here. Amoral pigs.
