Believe me, in the culture they are coming out of, the political one, affairs
are not so much unusual as normative.  It would be surprising if it were
considered a big deal.  Henry Kissinger did not call power the ultimate
aphrodisiac for nothing.

The only people that are being cheated and lied to are the voters, and that is
no big deal in that world at all.
