BTW, bribing a government official will usually result in one or both of you doing time in a federal (not a country club) prison.

- barry-cotter 17y agoCalling an elected politician a government official does not fall within the common use of the term.
- lionhearted 17y agoAh, good point, my mistake. So if I've got it right, the common usage would be "government official" for administrative positions, and "politician" for elected? Cheers for pointing that out.
