A professional politician is a professionally dishonorable man. In order to get anywhere near high office he has to make so many compromises and submit to so many humiliations that he becomes indistinguishable from a streetwalker." - H.L. Mencken
Now I agree with most of that quote but I fail to see why the author needs to denigrate streetwalkers that way.
