When רב מאיר שפירו served as a member of the Polish parliament, the Sejm, he and several of his fellow lawmakers were approached by a Jew selling socks.  The רב made a purchase but the others declined.  רב מאיר explained to the seller:  “The politicians don’t need socks.  They’re all liars and לשקר אין רגלים.”
