John:

Oh I know that politicians are all cut from the same cloth; my point was that Muldoon's reputation is pretty well shot now.

At least I haven't heard anyone say that he seemed honest and forthright in his answers.

He will survive the Oliphant inquiry, but in the public's mind, his reputation won't. Andrew Coyne pretty well summed it up last week on At Issue (keep in mind that he's a small c conservative).
