   Gerhard Schröder was called "Gas Gerd" for very good (or rather, from the   
   PoV of national security, very bad) reasons. He did stay loyal to his   
   paymaster even after Russia's invasion of Ukraine - so I guess you can   
   call him a honest politician (since after being bought, the remained   
   bought)?
