No really, think about this.
Pres. Clinton
Sen. Edwards
Gov. Spitzer
Gov. McGreevey
Sen. Craig
Sen. Vitter
Gov. Sanford
Sen. Ensign
think for a minute....
First, I really don't care who sleeps with who. As long as it's consenual (no kids, no animals) does it REALLY matter who sleeps (or stays awake all night) with whoever?
Pres. Clinton got a hummer (a foreshadowing of the government owning GM maybe?) from a 24 year old intern who obviously didn't learn to do her laundry.
Sen. Edwards was sleazier (IMO) because he cheated and had a child with someone else, while his wife was recovering from cancer. The circumstances bugged me more than the affair.
Gov. Spitzer was a law and order heavy who used prostitutes. While I will give him credit for using a more sound financial plan, he was a hypocrite.
Gov. McGreevey decided to sleep with a staff member's... uhmm member? kewl.. probably not the best choice of partners, but who dictates attractions. I met my wife where we worked.
Sen. Craig.... dude.... Minneapolis.... the airport?? ehhh, Spitzer at least knew the name of who he was aiming for.
Sen. Vitter obviosuly was even more fiscally attuned that Gov. Spitzer, but the less you pay, the more and faster they talk. But the details... we didn't WANT to know.
Sen. Ensign... doubling the salary of one of your best friends wives while hiring her son WHILE you are sleeping with her? wow.... conflict of interest there... not to mention it didn't really have a happy ending did it? At least your parties news channel gave you a heads up what was coming.
Gov Sanford, let me explain this in a way I would best relate:
If I disappear on father's day to visit my girlfriend (which I couldn't afford to have one as is) MY WIFE WOULD KILL ME. If the congress can impeach Clinton for a BJ while he was talking to congress on the phone. YOU NEED TO QUIT. At least Clinton was still on the job while getting his job.
Now, the reason I said Abstinence is because most of these pols already have kids, and lets face it. I really wish they would stop breeding anyway. Thier DNA seems corrupted, and most of them are ugly to boot.
I know.. they are married, but if they don't think kids should have sex, why don't they lead by example and quit having it themselves.
