I. Never take the Money.
If you take the money, the person that gave the money to you owns your political ass for the rest of your life. Whether the promise or the "quid pro quo" was a direct one, indirect, spoken, unspoken, implied or written, you have been purchased with a price whether it is the truth or a lie. This point leads us to rule number two.
II. Tell the truth.
Tell the truth because no one will ever believe what you are saying to them anyhow. That gives you two tremendous advantages. First, while you are moving in your truthful endeavor, the other person is wasting time trying to figure out what you said to them. Second, the truth is simple to remember. The lie is difficult to remember. You won't get caught up in a truth, and a truth will never allow a lie to slip out.
III. Keep your pants on at all times.
It is better to imagine what you would like to do, and control your vessel by yourself than to turn off your mind, to act on your primal instinct and to bend over and kiss your political ass good bye. Hell knows no fury like a woman's scorn, and only a gentlemen never kisses and tells, and there are no gentlemen in politics.
So, all you young politicians, go to confession, go back to school and augment the planet....
"Let us dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago: to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of the world." Robert F. Kennedy, 1968.
