	Mr. Salzberg wins again!  ;-)

	Seriously, I can't believe the number of people who talk about
"Sleaziest Presidents of U.S. History" and apparently know NOTHING of
said history beyond their own lifetimes.  No wonder we have to endure
the same ol' shit over and over.

	Or the Congressional proceedings that directly followed the
Civil War - corruption wasn't limited to the White House in those days
anymore than it is now.
