Public conduct and 2009: year in review

See?  My 2009 obsession with the ethics of public conduct wasn’t crazy.  Check out this nifty Politico piece on the “The Year of the Scandal“:

Yes, there have been years that saw bigger sex scandals. But 2009 will still be remembered for the steamy news that rocked the political world. A governor confessed to having an Argentine mistress. A senator became snared in an ethics mess after admitting he had an affair with a staffer – who was married to another staffer. And still, it all looked tame compared with Tiger Woods.
