Eleventh Commandment of Politics (dead woman or live man)

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

I can't seem to find it earlier. Is it in ALL THE KING'S MEN by Robert Penn
Warren?

(GOOGLE)

DeLay reminds me of a passage from 'All the King's Men,' still  the best book
about politics, and Huey Long-era Louisiana. The money quote is  paraphrased
like this:
"The only way he's going to go down is if he's caught in bed with a dead girl
or a live boy."
Hopefully, the Exterminator won't prove to be as durable, although apparently
 he learned the art of survival from rats and cockroaches;>
