Stories about public officials who are accused of wrongdoing always bother me, and it’s particularly troubling when one is accused of drug abuse because it raises the specter of blackmail and, in cases such as judges, the potential for case fixing.

A few years ago the FBI arrested a federal district judge for buying drugs from a stripper.

On a more general matter I am amazed at how cheaply public officials they sometimes sell their office for — like a building or restaurant inspector taking $50 bribes . . . but I guess it all adds up.

I often wonder how extensive corruption, malfeasance and misfeasance is in government, and how much of it is covered up. The older I get the more cynical I become, and I think the problem is far greater than I ever imagined.

And, after he assumes room temperature, they’ll fly the flag at half-staff in his honor.
