Politico talked with four former politicians “to hear about their lives, jobs and families — and what lessons they’ve learned from their public downfalls. (Needless to say, none are planning to seek office again.)”
“Their stories reveal that even after a devastating scandal, it is possible to pick up the broken pieces and construct what some say is an even better life, often with the help of forgiveness from the public, family and God. But if there’s one thing from their old lives that some of these ex-politicians say they still miss, it’s the chauffeurs that used to drive them around — one of the many perks of being in office.”
