Which is more honorable work, stripper or politician?

Everybody's making a big, salacious deal about the fact that NSA leaker Ed Snowden's girlfriend is a professional exotic dancer in Hawaii where they lived. So what?

You may not approve on moral grounds, of exotic dancing as a profession, but at least it's honest work. Politicians are far less honorable, no? Exotic dancers just take off their clothes while politicians lie, cheat, thieve, slander, fleece Americans by the millions, prostitute their offices for campaign cash, and sometimes women  around them tend to get raped or die in odd ways. I could go on and on, but you get the idea.

That Snowden was in a relationship with an exotic dancer just shows that he had better taste in the company he kept as opposed to the people with whom he worked.
