You're right. We probably shouldn't hold our public servants to a higher standard than the general populace. It's not like we need our leaders to establish trust with other leaders and work towards solving real issues.

And as a somewhat wealthy individual, I was happy to see a government that was being operated with some real accountability by trustworthy and capable individuals.

But hey, don't worry...I'm sure that all DC needs is more Marion Barry to solve the poverty problem. Or Vincent Gray.
