I would agree with the psychologist. The majority of politicians I have met are normally under average height but over average in the bullsh1t and corruption traits. And they are some of the most arrogant and untrustworthy people in the land.

This definition of Narcissistic Personality Disorder from Wikipedia is interesting:
...at least five of the following are necessary for a diagnosis of NPD:
has a grandiose sense of self-importance
is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by other special people
requires excessive admiration
strong sense of entitlement
takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
lacks empathy
is often envious or believes others are envious of him or her
arrogant affect.
Sound familiar?
