He’s only been in Congress since 2002. It didn’t take him long at all to start selling himself to the devil.

I recall the first time I (almost) met him in 2002. We were at some party function when he broke away from a group of people and caught me out of the corner of his eye. He started to walk toward me, smiling and raising his hand to shake mine. I half-smiled and extended my hand. Halfway to me, he stopped and got a real funny panicked look in his eyes. His jaw dropped, he looked me up and down and turned and walked away as fast as he could.

I thought, geez, my zipper must be down or something. I checked, it wasn't. I do have a reputation as a clean government guy and I think he had been warned. I don't want a crook hiding behind an "R". I think he was dirty then.
