I'll tell you the difference between the politicians of today and the politicians of yesterday,
The Nixon/Ford Administration, still the all-time leader in presidents forced to resign, had an Agriculture Secretary named Earl "Rusty" Butz. Earl was a farmer, born and bred, and was severely lacking in tact and discretion, but he only told his racist jokes to Pat Boone, who was a singer, and Sonny Bono, who certainly wasn't. The press over heard it. The joke he told those two aboard a commercial flight to California after the 1976 Republican National Convention was horribly offensive and racist that Butz was forced to resign and go back to Indiana.
Today, they pack Madison Square Garden and have "comedians" tell disgusting Puerto Rican jokes and I don't know what it takes to show you the complete lack of anything good there.
Whatever happened to respecting our fellow Americans?
