Pander

A news story stated that a person in Wisconsin believes that Governor Walker "panders" to the rich and powerful.
Doesn't sound good--does it?

It's certainly not.  Originally, the word meant to act as a intermediary for a sexual encounter.  Now, the word is used to suggest that someone accedes to and pleases the worst tastes of others.  In short, the person is alleging that Walker will do anything to please the rich.

A strong word indeed!
