Who, me, old? Politicians make promises they rarely keep

Please, don't call this a mistake. Mistakes happen when you make a decision not knowing all the facts. You knew the facts here because you have proclaimed often your love of moral laws, and you swore to uphold the civil laws in public office. Now you broke both of them knowingly. Don't call it a mistake — the only mistake here was getting caught."
