Messenger uses the continuing controversy over Attorney General Jay Nixon's acceptance of at least $19,000 in laundered (legally, but laundered nonetheless) campaign contributions from Ameren, and the continuing ethical problems surrounding Governor Matt Blunt's handling of license fee offices.
Messenger sums it up nicely with this paragraph:
That's the part of ethics that too many politicians either don't care about or just can't understand. Being accused of having a conflict of interest has nothing to do with whether you broke the law. It has to do with how your actions affect the trust we citizens place in you.
