Professional politicians, by and large, appear to have ego issues that somehow make them think a) they're above the law, and/or b) people are somehow afraid of them and won't report them for wrongdoings. To make it worse, they appear to think that they are somehow "special" and that we simply can't live without them. And to make THAT even worse, they're surrounded and supported by sycophants who tell them how wonderful they are no matter what. They're narcissists who calculate every breath as to how it will help them alone.
Just another example of why we need term limits at every political level. Hopefully at some point we'll decide to stop being played for fools.
