Corrupt politicians have plenty to teach

Thank you Illinois Politicians for the ability to add another word to my vocabulary. Ex-Governors George Ryan and the recently impeached "Blago" have taught me the meaning of the word "narcissism."

The dictionary defines it as: "Excessive admiration of ones self."

It is also described in Greek Mythology as basically a youth who was captured by the love of his own image reflected in a pool of water.

Personally, I prefer this definition:

"A greedy, childlike power mongrel who has never in their life heard 'No, you can't.'"
