Things that me me go "hmmmm....."

Apparently, new Chicago mayor Rahm Emmanuel spent $800,000 defending his claims of Chicago residency in his mayoral campaign.  Couple this with the claim that President Obama has spent two million dollars defending himself against claims he wasn't born in this country, and it suggests that people have a far larger stake in public office than would be suggested by their salary.

And then I remember claims that former President Bill Clinton is getting $100-200,000 for a half hour speaking engagement (they pay that much to hear him lie?), and it all makes sense.  Cincinnatus must be rolling in his grave, so to speak.
