Really. Who doesn't get how cheap our politicians come? Old joke about Spiro Agnew (Nixon's VP who had to resign because he took around $30,000 in bribes while Governor of Maryland years before): When Armstrong set foot on the Moon he would have been set for life if his first words had just been "Coca Cola!" Of course if it had been Agnew he probably would have said something like, "Fred's Tailor Shop, Baltimore!" Point is, US politicians really do come cheap. Political favors are a wholesale business, they make out on volume.
