Is unquestionably Las Vegasí Oscar Goodman:

Q: Prior to politics, you represented accused organized crime figures. Whatís the biggest difference between politics and the mob?

A: My clients gave me their word, and their word was their bond. They always paid me. They always thanked me at the end of the day.

In the political world, none of that happens. A politicianís word usually doesnít mean a damn. His word is for the moment.
