You heard about the Medicare actuary who was forced to fudge the numbers and lie to Congress to keep his job.

quote: [Winning his party's nomination in 2000 will be considerably easier for Gore if he can lock up the African-American vote, which accounts for as much as a quarter of the Democratic-primary total. So he is courting the party's most loyal voters at every opportunity.
