A Political World

I don't necessarily agree with the second definition because it's basically saying to cover up a lie or bend the truth, however; I feel that alot of politicians think it is necessarry to be cynical in that manner because it is very important to protect their reputations as politicians.Senator Craig's voicemail is a clear example of what goes on behind the scenes in the Political world, which may trigger curiosity to a large percentage of the public. Being in the public eye and having the entire world look at you in a negative manner is far more risky than trying to cover up a lie amongst a small group of peers. So I can say I understand why politicians place such an effort to put a spin on negative situations, but that does not make it morally right.
