If that is your interpretation of his question go right ahead and answer it yourself. That is not however what he said and I answered exactly what he asked.

In my experience someone without integrity is less likely too yes, significantly so. Since I believe in making my choices based on past history I would prefer to take a chance on the imbecile then someone with a better then average chance of blowing it for personal gain.

Don't you mean Clinton AND Nixon? Lets see... laundering, check; taking bribes, check (oh sorry, campaign donations from foreign governments); lying, check. Yep.
But I will definitely agree on the breaking the law thing. That is why Spitzer is in so much trouble right now... come to think of it, adultery just might be illegal. I know it used to be that is why it could be used as grounds for a divorce. Did that ever get taken off the books?
