“Show me a man that gets rich by being a politician, and I'll show you a crook”

-Truman



Truman lived up to his words, too. After leaving the White House he and his wife had nothing except their existing property in Missouri. Their relative poverty is the reason why presidents get a pension.


> gets rich

Presumably this is meant to imply something about Khan. Was he poor before he became a politician?


Noone familiar with the situation would seriously accuse khan of corruption. All the charges against him are bogus too (hence the response by the public, of which 60-70% supported him).


He was a cricket legend


Who figured it's a great idea to latch to the ultimate power playing "religion" and then some.


Bill and Hillary Clinton. Mega-rich after decades of public service, lol.



Gotta love those million dollar speaking fee paychecks.


You must not know about Hilary's profits "trading" hog futures. Or Whitewater.
