Are you referring to the integrity of a man who wouldn't come clean about a DUI in his mid-thirties, who took drugs throughout his youth (which apparently ended at age 35) but won't admit it, who cashed out a significant interest in his oil drilling company months before it was liquidated (based on presumptive inside information) and then left his investors high and dry, and who profited (to the tune of millions) from the private conversion of land publicly condemned supposedly to make room for a stadium of a team he became part owner by virtue of his familial relationship to the President?? Or the guy who raised over 90% of his campaign funding from 700 supporters, and has economic roundtables to which some of his biggest contributors are invited, but anybody who holds a different view is not? Or whose Secretary of Commerce designee who was still sending out fundraising letters after his appointment?

I guess subtlety is the key to integrity - if you hide your lack of it with more effectiveness, then your supporters get to go around claiming a higher moral ground. But make no mistake about it, Dubya is at least as sleazy as Slick, he's just better at keeping it under wraps.
