public trust, public schmust

On the same radio report about Spitzer there was another New York State politician, I forget who, who said, "...we now need to work together to help rebuild the public's trust in politicians."

What he meant to say was, "We scumbag fucking politicians need to work really, really hard - as hard as us scumbag politicians can work - to regain the public's trust, so the elected officials of this great state can all get back to doing underhanded shit behind their backs."
