Politicians - Ted Kennedy
It's an old story and it's not right, but F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Gatsby" nailed it...
At CapeCodToday.com, Walter Brooks reports:
"The photographer was so shocked as the scene unfolded on the day that the 2002 Figawi Race ended in Hyannis, that he put his dingy into the water and rowed out to question the crew member left aboard Mya that May day.
After he approached the yacht the diesel slick coming from Mya was clear and spreading.
He asked the crewman 'what the hell are you doing?'
The crewman told him that diesel had gotten into the bilge and he was ordered to dump it.
When told that he was moored in coastal waters near shellfish beds and people swimming, the man replied, 'whatever.'"
