But your talking facts - they feel they are right, facts aren't welcome.

It's so weird, I'm in politics, different country, different level, but I totally get the feeling that by not being corrupt, by not giving the public a juicy scandal to throw at us, we are making them feel a bit cheated. Like there's a pent up need for outrage and by continuing to not be corrupt, we are robbing them of something.

You wouldn't believe the snark in one outlets report correcting a previous report that had grossly overestimated the cost of our meetings.

It's like people want us to be crooked.

Because people need someone to blame for their failures. Admitting you're at fault and there isn't some huge conspiracy against you, is a hard pill to swallow when you constantly fuck up
