Every once in a while our rulers — including the most petty local government political criminals — demonstrate what they really think of us.  A case in point is the behavior of former Anne Arundel County, Maryland “executive” John Leopold, who is about to be sentenced to “community service.”  (Our “proud public servants,” as his lawyers call him, rarely go to prison for their crimes).  Among the behavior that prosecutors found to be “improper” was his ordering of his secretary to empty his catheter bag, which he wore for more than a year after back surgery.
