Lords a leapin' (to apologise)

I think being truthful to oneself is a good characteristic for a politician to have - as long as they're careful about being truthful to the public!

BTW, on the topic of gaffes, I like this one from a possible future president who clearly has a Bush Jr like grasp of foreign affairs: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-11840828

Despite their lying, cheating, manipulative, sleazy, dishonest, bent, underhanded talents, I don’t think they would make good traders, apart from spoofing. Ultimately you have to have a high degree of self control and you have to be honest and truthful to yourself. Negative characteristics in any politician.
