In politics, a political scandal is an action or event regarded as morally or legally wrong and causing general public outrage. Politicians, government officials, party officials and lobbyists can be accused of various illegal, corrupt, unethical or sexual practices.[1] Politicians and officials who are embroiled in scandals are more likely to retire or get lower vote shares.[2][3]
In the spring of 1904, many parts of the Northeastern United States experienced severe flooding. Bob Satterfield portrayed politicians, bureaucrats, etc., trapped in the floods – which are not of water, but of scandal (April 9, 1904).
