…that this smear business has been going on since… at least Richard Nixon... probably Lyndon Johnson… who knows before that time.

If you or I run for office, the opposite party immediately says, “Who is this guy (gal)?” They begin building a dossier. From that point on the file is kept. If you get too far ahead in an election… I believe the term is “Swift Boated.” If you step out of line while in office, the dossier is opened and the scum is leaked.

If you are squeaky clean, then they begin filing ethics complaints (al la Gov Palin). It makes no difference if you are guilty or not – you and your staff are tied up defending yourself. Sometimes, it’s the taxpayers that pay the legal fees. Sometimes not… as in Gov Palin’s case.

Dirty tricks are getting in the way of clean government. NOBODY has an empty closet. If you did, you’d have not enough aggression or experience to run for office. Fighter pilots have a reputation for promiscuity. But, that doesn’t affect their desire to dominate the sky.
