Every politician has dirty fingers.

Totally agree with you. In the modern political arena where campaigns are decided on the amount of fund-raising undertaken, you would be hard-pressed to find a politician who is not somehow dirty. I would also suggest that it would be virtually impossible to win any state-wide office, and most definitely a national office, without being corrupt at some level. It’s just not possible to attain power in a money-driven age of politics without it. Of course, as the public we have allowed and continue to allow this, so rather than point the finger at the pollies, we need to be much proactive as citizens.
