Well, I guess the conundrum is how to get someone pure enough to meet with your approval anywhere near the helm. Don't get me wrong Cockburn--the facts you report fill a significant void in the fantasy land of political commentary, but they don't offer much of a solution to problems we have in the hard, cold world of reality. You have to work with what you've got, and human DNA just doesn't seem to be built to support the kind of perfection you demand.
