== Comic Books ==
* Every single politician [[Batman]] meets in Gotham with the exception andof [[The Sheriff|Police Commissioner Gordon]].
** Before he becomes Two-Face, [[Face Heel Turn|District Attorney Harvey Dent]] may or may not be this, [[Depending on the Writer]]. Some versions of his backstory make him a [[Tragic Monster]], portraying him as a former [[Crusading Lawyer]] and philanthropist, while others show him as a corrupt [[Villain with Good Publicity]] from the start. The latter view almost always emphasizes hypocritical statements to the public about his views as a politician, making his condition a [[Karmic Transformation]].
* In the [[Crapsack World]] of Ba[[sin City]], being honest is contraindicated. Any politician who commits an act of honesty is committing an act of suicide.
