There have been plenty of crooks in government, and will be as long as government is human.

Idiocy, however, should be fairly apparent. Regardless of how I feel about their policies, they managed to run an election campaign and get to where they are. If someone is truly an idiot and still gets elected, you're calling into question the intelligence of millions of people in the case of a national election.
<sigh> You usually do better than this LH. Idiocy is just as easily hidden as dishonesty. Take Warren Harding for example. A point for trying to say..."national vs. local makes it different." But millions of people vote in Illinois -- or New York -- Florida -- California.

I do notice you continue to avoid the question of why you find "moron" acceptable but not "idiot"?

Nor why it is not "schoolyard" behavior to call a fellow poster an "idiot" as you admit to doing but it is "schoolyard" behavior to call a politician an idiot.

But then...some questions are unanswerable, aren't they?
